Set Maintenance Event to Under Preparation

Explanation

This activity is used to set a maintenance event to the Under Preparation status.

Maintenance events with predefined task cards are automatically set under preparation when the maintenance order to which it is connected is set to Under Preparation. All task cards connected to the event code will be retrieved to the event along with connected subtasks, resources, material, and sign off requirements. If predefined task cards do not exist for the event, it will be set to the Incomplete status instead. Once the required task cards are connected to the event, this activity can be performed to manually set the event to the Under Preparation status.

Prerequisites

• An event in the Incomplete status with connected task cards must exist on the maintenance order.
• Resources on the connected task cards and subtasks must be valid for the site at which the maintenance is to be done (i.e., site of the workshop on the maintenance order).

System Effects

• The event is set to the Under Preparation status. When all events on a maintenance order are in the Under Preparation status, the maintenance order can be released.
• If demands have been released (the Demands Released check box is selected) and the maintenance order is in the Under Preparation status, resource and material demands on the event will be released.
• If the maintenance order is in the Under Preparation status, an aggregated view of the resource demands on the event can be viewed.

If the maintenance order has the Execution Logic Structure distribution type:

• The task cards and subtasks connected to the events will be mapped into correct execution logic orders (ELOs) in the execution logic structure (ELS) that is defined on the maintenance order.
• The grouping and ELO nodes in the ELS will be sorted in the same order as set up on the ELS template.
• The task cards and subtasks which do not fit into any of the defined ELOs will be mapped into the Ungrouped Task Cards node.
