Maintenance Package

[former_member222398]

Dear All,

I have a question regarding the maintenance package and the start of the cycle.

I have the equipment task list with several operations and with maintenance strategy and packages.

Assume the last cycle which is done out of SAP before the implementation of PM for the operation 0090 in 01.01.2010 years.

Now, when I am implementing SAP in the maintenance plan what is the start of cycle should I need to give, As I know the start of the cycle is the last maintenance which is done need to be entered, but here we have different packages and last month 01.04.2016 for the 1st operation I would have done the maintenance.

Which one I need to enter??

Please let me know your inputs.

Thanks & regards,

Satish

Hi Satish,

Can you please let us know which package you need to begin the plan, based on that you need to enter the start of cycle.

If you want to call from the first package, then no need for offset, else you need offset.

In your case, do you want the orders to be generated from 2010 ? Since this was the last maintenance call outside SAP.

Hello Terence & Sameer,

Thanks for the answer,

The user mentioned that the last maintenance which was done on 2010 but in SAP task list they also have given 1M, 3M .... operations

If the maintenance done in 2010 ( 10 yrs) if I have offset for 10 years so that the system will propose for 2020 but the operations which is related to 1M, 3M will be generated or not?

the other point is the task list I would have created in 2016 due to SAP rollout if I offset for to 2010 will the system recognize and generate the orders because the task list valid from 2016.

Thanks in advance

Best regards,

Satish

Hi Satish,

First thing is if the last maintenance is 10 years, which is the last package, so your total schedule and planning need to start from begining, say 1M... If you want to call only the 10 years, then you need to set the offset, choose the offset has 10 years, which will start from 10 years. If your start of cycle is in 2010, next 10 year package will be 2020.

Well, since the Task list is in 2016, system will not generate any call before task list validity date, from 2016 you can have the schedule.

To the SAP PM masters.

Please advise the following screen shots:

I intend that when PM is due on 1Y cycle, the 6M task list will also be included to work on. Likewise, during the 3Y interval, the 6M & 1Y task lists are also included to be worked on. Is the approach as above correct

Keep same Hierarchy level in all packages. so that all due will include in same.

if you want not to include the 6M packages while performing 1Y and 3Y then keep different hierarchey level. so that the system will pick the highest hierarchy level package.

Hello Satish,

In this case you can use offset. For better understanding follow this link:
