Solution capability: Tactical Asset Management Planning (S/4)
Description:  With this app, you can create maintenance planning buckets that aid you in effectively managing your maintenance backlog. You can create operational maintenance planning buckets or event-based maintenance planning buckets. Operational maintenance planning buckets are recurrent planning buckets that allow you to plan regular maintenance work. They are generated automatically based on the time and recurrence details that you specify. Event-based maintenance planning buckets are one-time planning buckets that help you to organize major maintenance events, where a group of maintenance orders needs to be planned and executed during the same period. Note This app has been designed to be used within the functional scope of the Reactive Maintenance (4HH) and Proactive Maintenance (4HI) scope items that differs from how the maintenance process had been run before (based on the scope items BH1, BH2 and BJ2). Some of the features might not work in the same way or they might not work at all. Furthermore, not all the features of this Fiori app are available for maintenance orders of order types for which the phase model has not been activated. 
This application enables you to create Maintenance Planning Buckets, and plan their recurrence as well as define their scope.
Key features:    Create operational planning buckets to plan ongoing day-to-day work. For more information, see Creating Operational Maintenance Planning Buckets.   Create event-based planning buckets to set up and manage one-time maintenance events. For more information, see Creating Event-Based Maintenance Planning Buckets.   Manage maintenance events. For more information, see Maintenance Events.   Specify a time period for the maintenance planning buckets.   Specify a recurrence and a recurrence interval for operational maintenance planning buckets. The system uses this information to calculate the start and end dates of the individual planning buckets it generates, and to assign maintenance orders to them based on their scheduled start and end dates. You can also specify how many planning buckets should be created in advance.   Define the scope of the planning bucket by adding additional attributes such as the main work center, the planner group, the maintenance plant, the plant section, or the technical object. The scope attributes serve as a filter that restricts which maintenance orders are assigned to a planning bucket.   View a list of all maintenance planning buckets.   Search for individual maintenance planning buckets or filter the list according to several criteria, such as the reference planning bucket, the planning plant, or the planning bucket type.   From each maintenance planning bucket, navigate to the Manage Maintenance Backlog app to view a list of the maintenance orders that are assigned to the planning bucket. For more information, see Manage Maintenance Backlog.
