Plant Maintenance, why 'Start date' is not visible?

[psimoni]

Hello guys, 

I've created a maintenance plan based on time (with strategy with multiple frequencies), but the "Start date" inside the maintenance plan (IP03) is not visible. I asked in my mind why, because If you schedule the plan (IP10), infact, the system asks you which is the start date, since it has not been declared anywhere.

On the contrary, the start date field is visible inside a maintenance plan with unique cycle (for eg. every 6 months). 

Any opinion? If we don't insert the start date within the maintenance plan for those, how the plan can know from which date has to start his activities? Thank you so much 🙂

Hi,

Are you talking about Start of Cycle date ? can you share the screenshots to check where it is missing?

Hello, yes.

Below the 6 month cycle maintenance plan

Below the maint plan with strategy

My question is: why in the first case you see the start cycle field and in the second one, no? How the system can knows when has to start the cycle? Infact, if I schedule from IP10 the plan 21, the system asks me the start cycle date.

Hi,

This is strange. Can you change the theme to Signature and check if this is visible. Also, what is the unit for strategy ?

Else, you need to raise to SAP, which version of S4 you are using.
