Add Convenience Tasks to Maintenance Order

Explanation

This activity is used to add convenience tasks to a maintenance order. All convenience tasks defined for the serial structure associated with the maintenance order is valid for distribution. For more information on defining convenience tasks, refer the online help file Define a Convenience Task.

Note that convenience tasks are added and executed in the same manner as maintenance events.

Prerequisites

• A maintenance order must exist. The maintenance order must not be in the Work Done or Finished status.
• One or more convenience tasks must be defined for the part structure and maintenance program currently associated with the serial defined on this maintenance order.
• If you are adding a convenience task to a maintenance order that has reached the Under Preparation status or higher, and predefined task cards exists, the resources and material on the task card must be valid at the maintenance order site. For resources, the site connection is set in the Resource Detail/Connections/Site tab.

System Effects

• Convenience tasks will be assigned to the maintenance order.
• If the maintenance order is in the Under Preparation status, and demands have been released, resource activities will be generated for the resources included on the convenience task.
• If the distribution type defined on the maintenance order is Execution Logic Structure, the task cards that are connected to the event will be mapped into the correct execution logic orders (ELOs) on the maintenance order. In addition, the task cards will be mapped into corresponding ELO work orders in IFS/Work Order Management.
