Scheduling of Multiple Maintenance Item in one Maintenance Plan

[nazarene_madriaga]

Hi,

Would like to know your suggestions on this.

We have a requirement where we need to create a Maintenance Plan and having several Maintenance items. Now the tricky part is, we wanted to have these maintenance Items triggered weekly, meaning 1 maintenance item will trigger this week, the next maintenance item will be triggered next week, and so on.

Is there a why we can set the Maintenance item to a different date/day to trigger?

Regards,

Nazarene

Greetings Nazarene,

It may be possible to fulfill your requirements in the standard:

1) One possibility is to use a number of Maintenance Packages offset by one week from each other (i.e. 1st by 7 days, 2nd by 14 days, 3rd by 21 days etc.) and cycles equal to the total number of weeks in a Strategy Plan with Task Lists. This way you can assign the different packages to the Task Lists and have them trigger from one plan in a sequence. This potentially requires you to use multiple Task Lists, or one Task List but with many sets of package-assigned operations.

2) Another possibility may be to use a Multiple Cycle plan with multiple weekly Cycles set. You may then assign a Cycle Set Sequence to each of the weekly cycles, and assign Items to the Sequence. This allows you to schedule some Items after week 1 (weekly cycle 1), then some others after week 2 (weekly cycle 2) and so on. The cycle sequence is, well, sequentially performed in ascending order, and then re-starts from the lowest sequence (e.g. 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-1...)

Hello Nazarene,

Obviously the scheduling parameters being at the plan level (not at the item level), your requirement is not possible through standard functionalities. A simple solution is to have different plans. But if we want to have the desired effect in a single plan, then it will be a research work. You have to go through strategy based plans and offsets etc. If something there is not working then you may have to take help of user exit IPRM0005.  Also your ABAPer can try whether the user-exit IPRM0002 works for your present situation by giving a logic to offset calls for different items.

Thanks Jogeswara,

Are you able to provide some sample conversion if we are going to use these users exits in catering our requirement?

Hello Nazarene,

I haven't used these exits so far. (That's why I used the word 'Research' in the post). Everytime such need arose we opted for separate plans. Had I used these exits before, I'd have already given the codes samples in my first post (usual practice). Sorry !
