Restarting Scheduling for Preventive Maintenance Actions

The asset installation date determines the age of the asset. An asset with no installation date has an age of 0 days.

Note: Do not change the installation date of an asset because the existing PM actions become inconsistent with the revised installation date.

Although you cannot change the dates of scheduled PM actions for an asset, you can restart PM action scheduling to go into effect on the current date or a future date. To restart PM action scheduling for an asset, use one of the following methods:

  • In the Date Completed field of the latest PM action for the asset, enter the restart date.

    The PM Engine uses the existing Time Interval triggers in the PM plan for the asset and this restart date to schedule PM actions.

  • Delete the asset from the PM plan, and create a new PM plan for the asset with new Time Interval triggers.

    The PM Engine uses the revised Time Interval triggers and the asset installation date to schedule PM actions.

  • If the PM plan contains only the asset for which you want to restart PM action scheduling, then set an end day corresponding to today for any Time Interval triggers that are in effect on the restart date, delete any Time Interval triggers that are in effect after the restart date, and create new Time Interval triggers to replace the deleted triggers.

    The PM Engine uses the revised Time Interval triggers and the date of the last completed PM action for the asset to schedule PM actions. If no completed PM actions exist, then the engine uses the date of the last scheduled PM action for the asset instead of the date of the last completed action. If no scheduled PM actions exist for the asset, then the PM Engine uses the asset installation date instead of the date of the last scheduled PM action.
