Definition

Detailed planning assistance for maintenance tasks to be performed.

Note

In the following documentation, the maintenance order is simply referred to as "order", when it is clear from the context that a maintenance order (PM order) is meant.

Structure

An order consists of:

An order contains operations that describe the individual work steps. For greater detail, operations can be divided into sub-operations.

Operations can be performed sequentially, in parallel or overlapping. Their sequence is defined in relationships. Operations and sub-operations can be processed internally or externally.

An operation or sub-operation to be processed internally is assigned to a work center, which is responsible for its execution. The necessary capacity requirements can be planned for performing the operation or sub-operation.

Using the "worklist for notifications" for a maintenance or service order, you can group together similar notifications for processing. For more information, see Completion Confirmation.

For complex and extensive maintenance work, several lower-level orders can be assigned to one order. In this way, order hierarchies can be created.
