 Scheduling Overview and Simulation

Use

To obtain an overview of the maintenance calls and maintenance call objects (for example, maintenance orders), you can display and edit the scheduling overviews.

Features

The different scheduling overviews are as follows:

  • Call history

  • Scheduling overview and simulation

  • Maintenance item overview list

Call history

The call history provides you with an overview of the calls which the system has generated for a maintenance plan using the scheduling function. This overview displays both scheduled and manual call dates. This is particularly important for critical technical systems, for example, in the case of unforeseen shutdowns or damage which could affect the past of future call dates.

When you generate a call in a maintenance plan, the system records all the calls in one of two displays:

  • Call history of scheduled calls

  • Call history of manual calls

The call history contains the following data:

Scheduling overview and simulation

The scheduling overview and simulation provides information about maintenance calls, maintenance call objects, maintenance items and the capacity load for work centers concerned, which result from the maintenance plans. The function is available for time-based and performance-based maintenance plans and multiple counter plans.

In the scheduling overview and simulation you can select one of the following display variants:

  • In a graphic as a Gantt diagram

  • As a table in the SAP List Viewer

  • As a table in an additional navigation tree

Scheduling overview and simulation: graphic (Gantt diagram)

The graphical scheduling overview consists of the following components:

  • Graphical display of the simulation of maintenance schedules

  • Graphical representation of the capacity load

  • Detail screen(s)

For more information about the functions and processing, see Scheduling Overview and Simulation: Working with the Graphic .

Scheduling overview and simulation: Table in SAP List Viewer

The overview in table format lists maintenance calls, maintenance call objects, and maintenance items. This table provides the following functions:

  • Fix dates

  • Change between simulation mode and overview mode

Scheduling overview and simulation: table with navigation tree

The scheduling overview with the navigation tree in table format lists maintenance calls, maintenance call objects, and maintenance items.

By double-clicking on the object ID, you can transfer the maintenance items for the object to the list. You can use Drag&Drop to add the objects to the list.

You can use the following functions:

  • Release, skip, and fix maintenance calls; set and reset deletion flags for maintenance plans; activate and deactivate maintenance plans.

  • Change between simulation mode and overview mode

Scheduling overview as a list

You can use the scheduling list to display all the dates for conditions defined by you, for example, for a piece of equipment, a maintenance plan number, a specific start date.

  • Scheduling overview as a list

    The schedule list provides information about the call dates and maintenance call objects for the conditions defined by you.

  • Detail screen(s)

    You can display detail screens for all of the maintenance calls or maintenance call objects contained in the scheduling overview.
