Import Maintenance Workload

Explanation

This activity is used to import work orders from IFS/Maintenance. These work orders are considered resource breaks within CBS. Neither Maintenance break dates and times nor CBS 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 and enabled in the Scheduling Basic Data window.

The work orders that will be imported as resource breaks has to fulfill the following constraints:

• The work order site should be the same site where the import is done for.
• The work order should be connected to a object which represents a work center resource or a tool instance.
• The operational status on the work order should be Obstructive.
• Planned finish date on the work order has to be defined and should be before the end of the scheduling horizon
• Planned start date on the work order has to be defined and should be after the start of the scheduling horizon.
• The work order status should be Under Preparation, Prepared, Released or Started.
• The execution time needs to be defined on the work order.

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.
