PM service

Valid task identifier of the PM service. This field has a list box. Task IDs as PM services are defined on the Basic Info tab of the Data -> Shop Activity -> Setup -> Tasks -> Primary Information screen. Maximum field length is 12 characters. When this field is set, the system looks up the ID and updates the PM service priority ID field with the default priority ID.

Description

Description of the PM service (task ID). If there is information in the PM service field, this field is display only from the Data -> Shop Activity -> Setup -> Tasks -> Primary Information screen.

Direct commercial charges update schedule

If this field has a check, th PM service will be able to update the PM schedule for the asset based on the "Update PM schedule based on date" SCHEDULED logic that is created on the Direct Charges-No Work Order-Commercial screen. The following conditions must be met in order for this logic to proceed.

Oil change

If this field has a check, the PM service includes an oil change. The system records this information to track the date and meter reading (or readings) of the last oil change for each equipment unit.

Update PM schedule based on date

Specifies how the system computes the due date for the next PM service for an equipment unit in this class. The PM schedule is updated each time you finish or close a work order. This field has a list box. To preserve the specified interval between services to provide the flexibility to allow for events that may delay the performance of PM services, specify either UNIT IN, WORK FINISHED, or IN SERVICE.

Extend date due if __ days out of service

Number of days that an equipment unit must be out of service consecutively before the PM service becomes eligible for extension. To determine eligibility for extension, the system monitors the period between the last date that a PM service was performed and the next PM due date. Only full 24-hour periods are counted, so an equipment unit that is out of service for 23 hours and 59 minutes is considered out of service for 0 days.

Work class

Default work class associated with the PM or inspection work order. Work class is required on work orders. This field has a list box. This field is optional.

Based on the equipment class for PM for the equipment unit, when a PM work order is generated for the equipment and service from the Equipment Due for Service/Inspection screens (both -by Equipment and -by Location), the work order includes the specified work class.

PM service priority ID

Priority identifier of the PM service. This field has a list box that includes priority IDs assigned to the AVAILABLE FOR PM priority category on the Data -> Shop Activity -> Setup -> Priority Codes screen. This field is filled with the default priority ID when the PM Service field is entered and has a default priority ID set with that service.

If this field has a check and a PM service is performed late, the next due meter 1/2 is set to the scheduled meter 1/2 value plus override. If this field is blank (the default), the next scheduled PM service is set to the actual meter value from the work order.

Meter overrides are specified on the Meter Info tab of the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Equipment Class -> Primary Information screen.

Update schedule by calendar

If this field has a check, the system uses the value specified in the Calendar ID field to determine when to update the PM schedule. If a calendar ID is not specified, the system uses the calendar assigned to the equipment unit’s PM location.

Update to working day _____ next scheduled date

If the next scheduled PM or inspection service falls on a non-working day, specifies which working day should be used. Useful for shops that are not open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Optional unless there is a check in the Update schedule by calendar field. This field has a choice list:

Apply days-based update by calendar

If this field has a check, the next PM scheduled date is based on the actual number of working days in the calendar ID. Applicable only if the Time unit field on the Individual PM Service Schedule tab specifies DAYS. If a time unit other than DAYS is specified, the date is calculated normally.

Calendar ID
