Specify Maintenance Import Interval

Explanation

Use this activity to schedule the importation of work orders from IFS/Maintenance. These work orders are considered as resource breaks within Constraint Based Scheduling (CBS). Neither maintenance break dates and times nor break times can be modified.

Prerequisites

This activity has the following prerequisites:

• IFS/Maintenance must be installed.
• Either a CBS site or an Advanced Planning Board (APB) site must be defined in the Scheduling Basic Data window.

System Effects

As a result of this activity:

• The system deletes corresponding resource breaks for any closed or canceled work orders when importing. 
• The imported work orders are compared against the corresponding resource breaks. Any updated work orders will update the corresponding resource breaks and the new work orders will create new resource breaks.
