Replace PM Action

Explanation

Use this activity to associate similar PM actions, where the action in the PM Action field includes the tasks done in the Replaces PM Action field and therefore it is not required to generate the second PM Action. Note that the replacement will take place for Calendar and Event generation but only when both PM actions are selected in the same generation process. The replacement functionality could be summarized as in the following table. Note that Yes in Connected column means that either one or both of the PM actions in the PM Action field and the Replaces PM Action field is/are connected.
 

  PM Action   Replaces PM Action   Connected   Allowed
  B   A     Yes
  C   B     Yes (It is possible to have multi layered replacements)
  PM Action   Replaces PM No   Connected   Allowed
  B   A   Yes   No (Connection and Replacement not allowed together)
  PM Action   Replaces PM No   Connected   Allowed
  B   A     Yes
  C   A     No (a PM action can be replaced by one other PM action only)
  PM Action   Replaces PM No   Connected   Allowed
  C   A     Yes
  C   B     Yes (a PM action can replace many other PM actions)
