This chapter contains the following topics:
Use maintenance planning to accurately forecast the parts and labor resources that are needed to complete the maintenance tasks. Use maintenance planning to minimize equipment downtime by ensuring that the necessary parts, materials, and maintenance personnel are available when a piece of equipment requires maintenance.
When you use maintenance planning, you define a range of maintenance work orders for which the system projects parts requirements and labor requirements. You can integrate this information with forecasted (planned) work orders that the system generates when you run a preventive maintenance projection.
After the system generates a preventive maintenance projection, you can:
Review information from the preventive maintenance projection.
Generate a parts plan.
Respond to system recommendations for purchasing parts and materials.
Generate a labor plan.
Revise a labor plan to accommodate available resources.
Review the maintenance plan within the resource assignments crew scheduling processes.
To use Maintenance Planning, you must have purchased and installed these systems:
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Product Data Management.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Resource & Capacity Planning.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Material Planning.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Base and Order Processing.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement.
Check with the system administrator to verify which systems you have purchased and installed.
You should be familiar with these terms and concepts:
PM projections
Parts plans
Labor plans
This section provides an overview of the Update PM Projections program, lists a prerequisite, and discusses how to:
Set up processing options for the Update PM Projections program (R13411).
Run the Update PM Projections program (R13411).
Run the Update PM Projections program to forecast parts and labor requirements for future PMs. When you run this program, you specify the dates for which you want the projection to apply.
The system uses information from the Asset Master File (F1201) and the Maintenance Schedule File (F1207), specifically the estimated occurrences value and the last completed date for each service type, to determine when a piece of equipment is due for maintenance. The system uses parts and labor resource information from the model work order to determine future parts and labor requirements. The system also uses information from the Maintenance Rules File (F1393) to determine if a crew schedule should be created, and determines the work order coding information when the work order is created by the PM Update Status program (R12807).
When you set processing options for the Update PM Projections program (R13411), use forecast types (34/DF) to distinguish projections. For example, you can specify forecast types to distinguish manufacturing and maintenance projections. Within maintenance, you could specify forecast types to set up multiple projections based on:
Short-term planning.
Long-term planning.
Area, such as production line 1, line 2, and so on.
Planner.
This table describes the tables that the system updates when you run the Update PM Projections program:
|
Note: You must have purchased and installed the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Material Planning system and the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Resource & Capacity Planning system to use parts and labor planning functions. In addition, you must associate model work orders with PM schedules to supply the system with the necessary data to determine parts and labor requirements. |
Processing options enable you to specify the default processing for programs and reports.
Specify the schedule pattern that the system uses to retrieve schedule period information from the Maintenance Schedule Period (F48302) table.
This information is used when creating PM projection information. This processing option works in conjunction with the Starting Period and Number of Periods to Project processing options.
|
Note: This processing option is intended for use with the Maintenance Scheduling product. Entering a value in this processing option results in the system overriding the values entered in the From Date and Through Date processing options. If you leave this processing option blank, the system uses the values entered in the From Date and Through Date processing options when creating the PM projection information. |
Specify the starting period.
The system uses this period start date as the PM projection from date. The start date for the period specified overrides the From Date processing option. Values are:
1: Current period (default)
2: Next period
3: Following period
|
Note: This processing option works in conjunction with the Schedule Pattern and Number of Periods to Project processing options. Schedule periods must exist in the Maintenance Schedule Periods (F48302) table for the schedule pattern specified in the processing option |
Specify how many periods, including the period specified in the Starting Period processing option, that the system considers in determining the ending period.
The system uses this period end date as the PM projection through date. The end date for the determined period overrides the Through Date processing option.

Blank: The system uses address book number of the current user.
Select Maintenance Planning (G1322), Update PM Projections.
This section provides an overview of PM information and discusses how to revise PM projections.
You can review detailed information about future preventive maintenance. For example, you can review:
Projected dates for preventive maintenance.
Projected service types for specific pieces of equipment.
Estimated hours and amounts for labor and materials for each service type.
A summarized total of estimated hours and amounts for all service types that match the search criteria that you enter.
You can use any of these types of information to limit the PM information that appears:
Forecast type
Schedule dates
Service types
Equipment location
Equipment number
Equipment category codes
When you run the PM projection, you can use the information that the system generates to help plan the maintenance activities. You specify the time period for which you want the system to forecast when equipment requires maintenance. The PM projection includes this information:
All equipment that requires maintenance.
Dates when the equipment requires maintenance.
Parts and materials that are required for the maintenance.
Estimated amount of time that is required to perform the maintenance.
Work Order coding based on the Maintenance Rules File (F1393).
The Update PM Projections program uses information from the equipment masters and the preventive maintenance schedules for the equipment to update these tables:
| Form Name | FormID | Navigation | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Work With PM Projections | W13011A | Maintenance Planning (G1322), PM Projections | Locate information about projected PM. |
| Work With Forecasts | W3460B | MPS Daily Operations (G3412), Enter/Change Detail Forecast. | Locate forecast information. |
| Detail Forecast Revisions | W3460A | Select or add a record on the Work With Forecasts form. | Revise PM projections.
Add or delete a parts forecast. Enter descriptive text for the forecast. When you revise forecast information, the changes affect only the Forecast File table (F3460); they do not affect the PM Projections table (F13411). |
Access the Work With PM Projections form.
Enter a value in UDC 34/DF (Forecast Type) that indicates one of these:
The forecasting method used to calculate the numbers that appear for the item.
The actual historical information for the item.
This section provides an overview of parts plans, lists a prerequisite, and discusses how to:
Generate a parts plan.
Set up processing options for the Message Summary program (P3401).
Review parts by planning family.
Use the parts plan to review the availability of required parts. When you generate a parts plan, the system generates messages that you should review to identify various parts planning needs. For example, you review parts messages to determine the quantity needed of a particular part at a future date. You can also direct the system to create purchase orders for parts that are currently not on hand but needed for the future.
You can generate a parts plan to assist you in planning parts and materials requirements for work orders. When you generate a parts plan, the system compares the parts inventory that you have on hand with the parts that are needed for work orders. The system determines parts requirements for actual work orders, such as work orders that are generated for corrective maintenance and forecasted (planned) work orders.
Based on this comparison, the system determines the availability of the parts that are needed for work orders. The system also generates messages that you can review to ensure that the right parts are available when they are needed. The messages include these recommendations:
Which parts and materials you should order.
When you should place orders for parts.
What quantity you should order.
Whether you should cancel, defer, expedite, or increase existing orders.
You use processing options to define a planning horizon for the parts plan. A planning horizon refers to the period for which a plan applies and how the period is ordered for display purposes. You can include up to 52 periods in a planning horizon. For example, you can generate a parts plan with a six-month planning horizon ordered as:
Days: 14
Weeks: 7
Months: 4
When you review parts availability by time, the system uses the planning horizon as the basis for the parts projection information that appears.
When you use processing options for generating a parts plan:
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Plant and Equipment Management users set the Generation Mode field to 2 (gross regeneration).
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Plant and Equipment Maintenance users set the Generation Type field to 4 (MRP with or without MPS).
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Plant and Equipment Maintenance users select the default value, QT, in the UCD Type field. This UDC table contains all quantity types.
Every time that you generate a parts plan, the system deletes all of the previous messages regarding parts availability. The system also deletes all of the detail messages for the parts that you specify, except messages that you enter manually and messages that you direct the system to hold.
|
Note: For the system to include an inventory part when the system calculates part availability, the inventory part must have an item balance record. |
To ensure accurate information when you generate a parts plan, other system users should not access programs that use inventory or planning tables. When you run the Plan Generation program, the processing options appear before submitting the job for processing.
When the system generates a parts plan, it updates several forms and generates a variety of messages. You can review these forms and messages to plan the parts requirements for the maintenance tasks. The forms and messages include these types of information:
| Form | Types of Information |
|---|---|
| Planning family | You can view messages by planning family or individuals within a planning family. You use planning families to group individuals who are responsible for parts. For example, you can review messages pertaining to:
|
| Inventory parts details | You can review parts detail messages when you want to review detailed ordering information about a particular part. The messages include recommendations about when you should order the part. In addition, you can review:
After you review the messages, you can take appropriate action on the messages. |
| Inventory parts availability by time | You can review the activity affecting the availability of an inventory part over a time period that you specify. You can review the activity in daily, weekly, or monthly increments. Activity that affects availability includes:
|
| Supply and demand | You can review detailed supply and demand information for a particular part. For example, you can review detailed information about a work order that creates a demand for a part or a purchase order that creates a supply for a part. |
| Component parts | You can review component part information when you want to review all of the standard parts lists (or bills of material) for which a component part is used. |
| Parts cross-reference | You can review parts cross-reference information when you want to determine which parts can be used as substitutions or replacements for parts that are not available. You can also review substitute suppliers. |
Verify that the workday calendar has been set up for the time period for which you want to generate the parts plan. If the parts planning requires order lead time, you must account for backward and forward scheduling to accommodate the lead time.

This section consists of an overview of parts detail messages and discusses how to set processing options for the MRP/MPS Detail Message Revisions program (P3411).
When you generate a parts plan, the system produces messages that identify when planning conflicts exist. For example, depending on how you set up the system, if a part's usage exceeds availability, the system produces an order message. You can process the messages according to the system's recommendations, delete them, or clear them. You can also create personalized messages to serve as reminders about particular parts.
The types of messages that the system produces are determined by UDC 34/MT (Message Type). You can add or change any message that appears on the Item Detail Messages form. You can also direct the system to perform actions on messages that you add or change. Standard message types include warning messages and planned purchase order messages. Other messages include:
Expedite an order
Defer an order
Increase an order
Decrease an order
This table describes the actions you can do after you review a message:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| Process the message | Use this command to resolve the planning conflict. When you direct the system to process an order message, it carries out actions to resolve the planning conflict. For example, when you direct the system to process a planned purchase order message, it automatically creates a purchase requisition. |
| Delete the message | Use this command to delete obsolete messages. |
| Clear the message | Use this command to prevent the message from appearing. You can retrieve a cleared message by choosing Processed Messages from the View menu. |
After you review parts planning messages, you can also create purchase requests or purchase orders for parts for which you have an immediate need. You can do so without accessing additional menus or programs.
| Form Name | FormID | Navigation | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Work With Detail Messages | W3411D | Material Planning (G1323), Item Detail Messages | Locate and review detail messages. |
| Suppliers Selected for Order | W43032A | Select a record from the grid and select Process Message(s) from the Row menu on the Work With Detail Messages form, and then click Close.
The system changes the message type. The message type that is associated with the part must be a message type for which the system can create a purchase request or order. For example, if the message that appears for a part is a manual reminder message, the system does not create a purchase request or order. |

This section provides overviews of labor plans and labor plan generation, lists a prerequisite, and discusses how to:
Generate the labor plan.
Set processing options for the Capacity Message Summary program (P3301).
Review labor messages by dispatch group.
Set processing options for the Capacity Planning Message Revisions program (P3311).
Review messages by work center.
Use the labor plan to review the demands that maintenance tasks place on the labor resources. When you generate a labor plan, the system generates messages that alert you to over-capacity or under-capacity conditions. You can adjust the labor resources accordingly, or reschedule selected maintenance tasks to alleviate the over-capacity or under-capacity conditions.
When the system generates a labor plan, it updates several forms and generates a variety of messages. You can review these forms and messages to plan the resource units that are needed to complete the maintenance tasks. The forms and messages include this information:
| Form | Description |
|---|---|
| Labor messages | You can quickly identify over-capacity and under-capacity conditions by reviewing labor messages. You can review messages for an individual work center or for a dispatch group. A dispatch group consists of related work centers that report to one business unit. Dispatch groups enable you to organize work centers according to common functions, similar operations, or steps in routing. |
| Capacity load | You can use capacity load to analyze the difference between the required labor resources (load) and the available labor resources (capacity) for any time period that you specify. You can review load versus capacity for a dispatch group or for individual work centers within the dispatch group. |
| Period summary | You can review detailed information about the work orders that are scheduled to be completed within a time period that you specify. You can also review a summary of the total capacity load for all work orders within a time period. |
You can generate a labor plan to assist you in planning labor resources for the maintenance tasks. When you generate a labor plan, the system compares available labor resources with the labor resources that are required by forecasted (planned) work orders and actual (firm) work orders. Based on this comparison, the system generates messages that alert you to over-capacity and under-capacity conditions:
| Message | Description |
|---|---|
| Over-capacity
Over-capacity: explanation |
When the system identifies an over-capacity condition, fewer labor resources are available than needed. You must adjust the resources or reschedule the sequence of maintenance tasks to correct an over-capacity condition. |
| Under-capacity
Under-capacity: explained |
When the system identifies an under-capacity condition, it indicates that the labor resources are not being used to their full potential. You should adjust the resources or reschedule the sequence of maintenance tasks to better use the labor resources. |
Ideally, you adjust the resources and schedule the maintenance tasks to achieve 100 percent capacity throughout the maintenance organization.
Every time that you generate a labor plan, the system deletes all of the previous capacity messages, except messages that you direct the system to hold and messages that you enter manually.
When you select data for labor plan generation, it is recommended you set critical work centers not equal to 4. A critical work center is a work center that you want the system to include as a demand for labor resources when the system processes a labor plan.
When you set processing options on the Process tab, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Plant and Equipment Management users should:
You must generate a parts plan before you generate a labor plan.

When you review detailed capacity load information by work center, you specify a work center and the unit of measure, such as hours, by which you track the maintenance tasks. Depending on how you set up the system, the system provides some or all of this information by period:
| Information | Description |
|---|---|
| Released load | The load that is created from actual (firm) work orders. |
| Planned load | The load that is created from forecasted (planned) work orders. |
| Total load | The released load, plus the planned load. |
| Gross capacity | The units that are available from the work center. |
| Rated capacity | The available units, factored by efficiency and utilization. Efficiency is a user-defined value that indicates how efficiently a work center operates. Utilization is a ratio of the actual time that a work center charges for maintenance activities to the planned time. |
| Percent of capacity used | The total load, divided by the rated capacity. |
| Available capacity | The rated capacity, minus the total load. |
| Accumulated available capacity | A running total of available capacity. |
Processing options enable you to specify the default processing for programs and reports.

Use period summary to review all of the maintenance tasks that make up the capacity load on a work center. You can also specify the planning period that you want to review. In addition, you can:
Identify the percentage of the total load for the work center for which each maintenance task accounts.
Identify the resource units, such as hours, that are required for each maintenance task.
This section provides an overview of labor resources and discusses how to set processing options for the Operation Dispatch Inquiry program (P31220).
After you have identified which work centers have over-capacity and under-capacity conditions, you should revise labor resources to correct the conditions and balance the workload. When you correct over-capacity and under-capacity conditions, you help maximize the efficiency of the maintenance organization and save costs.
You can use these methods to revise labor resources:
Change the date to perform the maintenance task.
Revise the labor resources that are allocated to a work center.
For example, suppose that you have several work orders scheduled on a day that is 40 percent over capacity. You notice the next workday is 35 percent under capacity. You can balance the capacity load by rescheduling a portion of the work orders for the next day. You also can reschedule individual operation sequences (routing steps) on a work order.
You can make short-term revisions to the work center that is responsible for the maintenance tasks. For example, you can:
Indicate additional resources for a particular workday.
Add workdays to a workweek.
You can revise work order dates to correct over-capacity and under-capacity conditions. For example, supposed that you have several work orders scheduled on a day that is 40 percent over capacity. You notice the next workday is 35 percent under capacity. You can balance the capacity load by rescheduling a portion of the work orders for the next day. You can also reschedule individual operation sequences (routing steps) on a work order.
