Process Maintenance Plan
Application component: BP for Maintenance Worker
App type: Web Dynpro
Line of business: Asset Management
Leading industry: Cross Industry
Solution capability: Tactical Asset Management Planning (S/4)
Scope items: Preventive Maintenance
Description: Three apps are provided for processing a maintenance plan: Create Maintenance Plan, Change Maintenance Plan, and Display Maintenance Plan. As a maintenance planner, you can use these apps to plan recurrent maintenance work by creating time-based and performance-based single cycle plans, strategy plans, and multiple-counter plans. In time-based maintenance planning, maintenance is performed in specific cycles, for example, every two months or every six months. With performance-based maintenance plans, you can plan regular maintenance based on counter readings maintained for measuring points of pieces of equipment and at functional locations. 
Three apps are provided for processing a maintenance plan: "Create Maintenance Plan", "Change Maintenance Plan", and "Display Maintenance Plan". As a maintenance planner, you can use these apps to plan recurrent maintenance work by creating time-based and performance-based single cycle plans, strategy plans, and multiple-counter plans. In time-based maintenance planning, maintenance is performed in specific cycles, for example, every two months or every six months. With performance-based maintenance plans, you can plan regular maintenance based on counter readings maintained for measuring points of pieces of equipment and at functional locations.
Key features: If you have the business role Maintenance Planner, you can perform the following tasks:  Create a maintenance plan and determine which maintenance call object the system generates for the maintenance plan when a maintenance call is due (for example, maintenance order). You can create single cycle plans, strategy plans or multiple-counter plans.   Create and assign maintenance items that describe which preventive maintenance tasks should take place regularly for a technical object or a group of technical objects.   View and edit general information for the maintenance item, such as the reference object, the planning data and the order or notification type (for example, Maintenance Order if the call object to be generated is a maintenance order).   View the location and account assignment information for the maintenance item. If the maintenance object is a linear asset, you can also view its linear data.   Assign a task list to the maintenance item to specify the individual work steps that must be executed, the spare parts and tools required for the job, as well as the required completion time. You can create a new task list or assign an existing one.   Assign maintenance items to the maintenance plan by creating new items or selecting existing ones. You can also delete existing assignments.   Determine and view the maintenance cycles of the maintenance plan as Planning Data. If the maintenance plan is a strategy plan, the assigned maintenance strategy determines the maintenance cycles. If the maintenance plan is performance-based, you can assign counters. Furthermore, you can write a long text and edit other scheduling information specific to the maintenance plan, such as shift factors and call control parameters.   View the scheduled Maintenance Calls for the maintenance plan. You can display the call object (for example, the maintenance order) and view the most important information about the scheduled maintenance calls in a table. For example, you can view the planned date, the call date, the completion date and the scheduling status.   Open quickviews to access relevant information about technical objects and task lists without having to navigate away from the screen you are working in.   Deactivate and reactivate the maintenance plan.   Select and deselect the maintenance plan for deletion.   When a maintenance planner defines a maintenance process for a piece of equipment or a functional location, he has to define the target system condition when the maintenance job is carried out by the maintenance technician. If a piece of equipment has to be shut down during maintenance and if shutting down this equipment has an impact on production, this has to be planned upfront and not on the day of the maintenance. This allows you to plan the maintenance of the pieces of equipment in an optimal manner. In the Create Maintenance Plan app, for maintenance plans of the category Maintenance Order, you as a maintenance planner can select the appropriate operating system condition value and assign it to a maintenance item. During scheduling, when the maintenance call is called which results in the creation of a call object of type Maintenance Order, the maintenance order header will have the system condition. The system condition can then be used for further business processes wherever it is relevant. The system condition can be selected while executing a preventive maintenance order. The predefined system conditions are:  0 - not in operation   1 - in operation     Final Due Date for Preventive Maintenance Notifications Final due date is the latest date by which a maintenance activity must be completed. Final due date is calculated based on the priority of a maintenance activity. When you select the priority for a maintenance activity, the final due date is calculated and displayed. During a maintenance activity, maintenance notifications that are created for a piece of equipment or a functional location must be completed by the final due date to fulfil compliance or regulatory requirements. Although required start date and required end date define the time by which a job must be finished, you may want to provide some time to plan for contingencies. This time period is called the final due date and is relative to the date when the maintenance notification was created in the system. You can use the Final Due Date field in maintenance notifications that originate from a preventive maintenance process (maintenance plan scheduling) and the standard corrective maintenance process where the maintenance notifications are created when an issue occurs in the system. Note If you have the business role Maintenance Technician, you are only able to view the information stored in the maintenance plan by accessing the Display Maintenance Plan app. For more information about displaying a maintenance plan, see Display Maintenance Plan.
