Ppp-04 : Setting Up Assets And PM Schedules

The Next Procedure column is most useful when the Preventive Maintenance schedule has multiple Procedures because it allows for easy tracking and organization of the sequential steps that need to be followed. This column helps ensure that each procedure is completed in the correct order and that no steps are missed. It provides a clear roadmap for technicians to follow and helps to streamline the maintenance process. Without the Next Procedure column, it would be more difficult to keep track of the order in which procedures need to be performed, leading to potential errors or inefficiencies.

The Repair Center filter on the PM Assets Tab is used to filter assets by the repair center specified on the PM Asset record. This means that users can easily view and manage assets that are associated with a particular repair center. It is important to note that using this filter is recommended for efficient asset management.

The statement is false because only enabled assets will generate work orders if they are added to a preventive maintenance schedule. Disabled assets will not generate work orders.

When updating multiple Assets on a PM using the Update feature, if fields are left blank, they will not be affected. This means that the existing values in those fields will not be changed and will remain the same.

If the "Use Asset Defaults" option is selected for the PM, then the organizational attributes displayed in the Asset/Location Popup window will not be used in the PM for Work Order generation. This means that the PM will not consider these attributes and will instead use the default settings or values associated with the asset.

The field that determines the order in which Work Orders will generate is the "Route Order" field. This field specifies the sequence in which the work orders should be generated based on the desired route or order of tasks.

Assets are added to the Asset Tab for the generation of Work Orders from a Preventive Maintenance Schedule. This tab is specifically designed for managing and organizing assets, allowing users to input relevant information and track the maintenance activities associated with each asset. By adding assets to this tab, users can easily generate work orders based on the preventive maintenance schedule, ensuring that maintenance tasks are carried out efficiently and effectively.

After setting the Preventive Maintenance (PM) schedule to be meter-based, the next area that needs to be filled out is the next scheduled meter interval. This is because a meter-based schedule relies on the usage of a meter to determine when maintenance should be performed. Therefore, it is important to specify the next scheduled meter interval to ensure that the maintenance is carried out at the appropriate time based on the meter readings.

When using the Use Asset Defaults option on the Asset tab of a PM, the fields available to check off to use during generation are Repair Center, Department, Customer, and Account. This means that the default values for these fields will be used when generating the PM, ensuring consistency and accuracy in the generated work orders. Meter Readings is not available to check off in this case, as it is not relevant to the generation of the PM.

If the Asset is disabled, both "PM is not Enabled for this Asset" and "PM will not generate for this Asset" will appear in red under the Asset Name and ID.
