Hello everyone, new here and have a question I couldn't find has been covered before. I think it's propbably simple, but I'm having a bit of trouble with it.
We are implemmenting Maximo at my company. I am building the PMs for all of our equipment. I have already built job plans for everything that will need them. Since we are under the watchful eye of the FDA (medical devices) our current PM schedule has to be maintained during the transition.
Example: Say a quarterly PM was performed on a machine today 6-30-11. We are planning to go live on August 1st for our first phase of implementation. That PM will become due again on 9-30. While sequencing the job plans within the PM there is a Monthly, quarterly, and a semi-annual. Since the frequency units are Months (because of the monthly PM), the estimated next due date will be 8-31 (going live -1). How can I adjust the quarterly so that it will generate when needed and not based on when the monthly starts without having to build a completely different PM? If I just use the EST next due date, the quarterly and semi-annual will be off sequence from their current due dates which is a BIG no-no in my business.
Thw only way I have found to work around this so far is to set the estimated next due date in the past (on the date whatever PM I need was done), generate the PM and work up to the current date. There has to be a simpler way.
Any input is appreciated!
