Application component: Fiori User Interface (UI) for PM
App type: Transactional
Line of business: Asset Management
Leading industry: Cross Industry
Solution capability: Maintenance Execution (S/4, Asset Mgr)|Tactical Asset Management Planning (S/4)
Description:  With this app, you can schedule all maintenance plans that are due within a specific time frame. This simplifies the creation of maintenance call objects for maintenance plans, especially if you need to schedule large numbers of maintenance plans. For each scheduling run, the system goes through all the maintenance plans taking parameters such as maintenance strategies and counter readings into account to calculate the due date. It then generates a maintenance call object, for example a maintenance order, for each due maintenance item. Which object the system generates is determined by the maintenance plan category. Furthermore, you can control special scheduling requirements using the scheduling parameters in the maintenance plan. Additionally, the following data is taken into consideration during scheduling:   For performance-based or time-based strategy plans: the maintenance strategy   For single cycle plans: the maintenance cycles defined in the maintenance plan   For multiple counter plans: the maintenance cycles defined in the maintenance plan   
You can use this app to schedule all maintenance plans that are due within a specific timeframe. This simplifies the creation of maintenance call objects for maintenance plans, especially if you need to schedule large numbers of maintenance plans. 

For each scheduling, the system goes through all maintenance plans taking parameters such as maintenance strategies, and counter readings into account to calculate the due date. It then generates a maintenance call object, for example a maintenance order, for each due maintenance item. You can can start the scheduling immediately or plan it as a recurrent batch job.
Key features:  You can view a list of all maintenance plans already scheduled within a certain time frame and navigate to the job results. You can generate new maintenance calls and call objects:   Choose a job template and enter a job name.   Specify the scheduling options:   Specify the date and time for the system to start the scheduling. You can also decide to start the scheduling immediately.  Add more scheduling options such as the calendar, or whether maintenance plans shall only be scheduled on working days.  Enter a recurrence pattern to specify how often the scheduling job is to be processed. You can run the job daily or even several times a day.     Specify the maintenance plan options:   Enter a time frame within which the maintenance calls and call objects should be generated.   Use parallel processing for the automatic scheduling of maintenance plans. You then can specify the number of parallel processes and which application servers can be used to what extent.  Specify additional selection parameters for the maintenance plan, such as the technical object or the main work center.  Specify additional selection parameters for the technical object, such as the planning plant or the maintenance planner group.
