Question On PM

[ahmfarag80]

PM2 is a child PM from PM1

I've create  PM1 with freq. 3 months that has 4 JPs with sequence 1, 2, 4, 8 & PM2 with 6 month Freq. that has 2 JPs with sequence 1, 2

The problem is : When I generate WOs from PM1 "That has low freq." PM2 generates WOs with the same PM1 Freq. Not with PM2 Freq.

Note: I tried it many time with different ways, I found that the generation of WOs depend on the Earliest date of the PM "it doesn't care if it child or it parent"

hi,
creating a wo from parent PM generates the event the creates the wo for child pm too irrespective of the fact when is their next due date.

Thanks Ethen

I Know that, but the matter is "why the generation of child PM WO doesn't depend on its Freq.  "

[Ethen]

Well because the concept of Child PM is that it should start with the Parent PM and should generate the WO that would support or do the child tasks for the Parent WO.
So generating WOs from Parent and Child PM at two different time is not possible.
child is related to parent in the say that instead of a big PM you can break the tasks in small tasks which can also be used in independent manner. but when the major work task starts, all the small tasks have to be executed.

Thanks Ethen again

my big problem is I want to schedule 2 different related PMs, but may be when I schedule one of them I forget the other.

So I made it like that one Child to the other, but I hope you have any another suggestion.

[Ethen]

one thing would be that child will always follow the schedule of parent though vice versa is not possible.

so if you can make more frequent happeing PM as the child PM and less frequent PM as parent PM it might be possible. but beware that parent will always trigger child PM.

[Ethen]

and just for my info..
how often do you schedule the PMs that you schedule one or forget the other.

[Gotja]

Interesting, so for example, if I have two PM scheduled on frequencies of 6,000 miles and another scheduled every 30 days.

Now if I wanted the 30 day PM to begin generating with the 6,000 mile inspection, all I have to do is add it as a child?

[Ethen]

give it a try... thats y maintaining parent child relationship is very important.

[Ethen]

oops.. I think this happens due to Use this PM to Trigger PM Hierarchy? field in the PM application...

[Gotja]

Yep, seems to work that way Ethen....thanks for your help.
