Perform Due Calculation for Interval Maintenance Events

Explanation

This activity is used to perform the due calculation for the interval maintenance of a given serial. The calculation will be done for the serial, based on the registered average operational value per month and the defined maintenance plan. In addition, the due calculation will create a maintenance event when it has reached the days of the forewarning period. The due calculation for a serial will only be done for a maintenance plan connected to an active maintenance program. Therefore, a maintenance program that has an Active status must be connected to the serial before the due calculation can take place. For a calendar based maintenance plan, where no average operational values exist for the primary operational based parameter, there will under certain circumstances only be calculated one record for recurring items. 

Apart from manually performing the due calculation for a serial (as described in this activity), scheduled tasks exist to automatically calculate due dates for all interval based maintenance. The Parallel Due Calculation for Interval Maintenance scheduled task will be used to calculate the due date for maintenance events. For more information on the scheduled tasks, refer the online help file Adjust and Verify Background Job for Due Calculations for Interval Based Maintenance.

Prerequisites

• An active maintenance program with a defined maintenance plan must exist.
• An average operational value (per month) for the serial must exist.
• The serial available for due calculation, cannot have an operational status of Planned for Operation and cannot be a locked serial. 
• The interval maintenance events that are in a planning state (i.e., in the Planned in Scope, Incomplete or Under Preparation status) must be connected to a maintenance order that is not yet released.

System Effects

• Interval maintenance due dates are calculated for the serial.
• If the calculated due date is within the defined number of days forewarning in the maintenance plan, a pending event is created.
• The due calculation for interval maintenance events will handle events that are included on maintenance orders not yet released.

Procedure

Use the following procedure to run the due calculation for the interval maintenance of a serial.

1. Open the Serial Maintenance window or the Component Life window.
2. Query (F3) for the serial for which you will run the due calculation.
3. Right-click anywhere in the header of the window and then click Perform Due Calculation to open the Perform Due Calculation dialog box.
4. Select the Interval Maintenance check box to calculate interval maintenance events. If you want to perform due calculation for all serials in the serial structure, select the Calculate Entire Structure check box.
5. To perform the due calculation as a background job, select the Run in Background check box.
6. Click OK.

• When the due calculation is finished, you can view the calculated interval maintenance due dates in the Interval Maint. tab of the Serial Maintenance window.
• You can view the information on the maintenance program for the calculated interval maintenance in the Next Intervalmaint. in Structure tab of the Serial Maintenance window.
