Features

Assign calendar for scheduling of orders

You can specify in a maintenance or service order whichfactory calendar you want the system to use as a basis for scheduling the order.

  • The default value is work center – this corresponds to the previous standard. The system bases scheduling on the factory calendar assigned to the work center of the operation or to the plant.

  • If you choose order header, scheduling is based on the factory calendar you specified in the order header.

  • If you specify network operation, the system bases scheduling on the factory calendar that is assigned to the network operation of the order.

Digital signature for order operations

You can sign off order operations from plant maintenance with digital signatures. This speeds up the sign-off process and ensures accountability.

You can call the digital signatures function for order operations in plant maintenance from the detail view of the operation data.
