Description:  As a maintenance planner, you can use this app to execute material availability checks for several maintenance orders at runtime or schedule these checks as a recurrent batch job. The system checks whether the components required for a maintenance order are available and updates the availability status in the orders accordingly. If you schedule the availability check as a batch job, a report displays all error and warning messages that occurred during the checking process, as well as the system and user statuses of the orders. If you also schedule maintenance orders that are processed by phases, the Material Availability Check for Maintenance Orders template enables you to reassign committed stock from one maintenance order to another of higher priority and urgency. For more information, see How to Perform an ATP Check for Stock Components. Note 
You can use this app to schedule maintenance availability checks for your maintenance orders. For each order, the system checks if the required materials are available, and displays a report with the results of the check. This report also lists error or warning messages and displays the system status as well as the user status of the orders.
Key features:  You can view a list of all material availability checks already scheduled and navigate to the results of the jobs that you have created.You can only view the job results on desktop devices. You can schedule new material availability checks:   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 run immediately.   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 parameters of the material availability check. The parameters depend on the job template that you have chosen.   In the Material Availability Check for Maintenance Orders template, specify the following parameters:  Restrict the maintenance orders to be included in the ATP run by selecting one or more maintenance order types, maintenance planning plants and maintenance activity types.   Determine the maintenance orders by their scheduled start date and scheduled end date. Alternatively, you can determine a relative scheduled date to select maintenance orders within a rolling time period when scheduling recurrent ATP runs.   Select one or more process phases.   Select one or more execution stages to restrict the operations whose components are to be included in the ATP run.   Select one or more material groups to restrict the stock components that are to be assigned in the ATP run.   Determine the scheduling options and specify whether the system should clear all committed material quantities and reassign the committed stock material.     In the PM Orders: Material Availability Check template, specify the following parameters:   Use parallel processing for the automatic scheduling of material availability checks, and specify the number of threads the system may use.   Specify whether the system is to display all messages or only errors and exceptions.   Specify whether you want the results to be saved to the application log.   Specify which status orders must have so that they are considered by the availability check ( for example In Progress, Outstanding, Completed, Historical)   Specify additional selection parameters, such as location parameters or account assignment parameters   Enter general data or administration data as additional selection parameters

Maintenance Planner - Resource Scheduling : 
Defines which maintenance orders must be completed in what time frame, assigns the required resources and, if necessary, collaborates with other teams, such as production and operations, to ensure that maintenance activities can be performed.

Maintenance Supervisor : 
Collects, reviews, and prioritizes all maintenance requests from different sources and ensures that they contain all the relevant information required so that the problems can be solved quickly.

Maintenance Planner : 
Carries out preliminary costing, work scheduling, material provisioning, resource planning, and, if necessary, requests permits to ensure that maintenance activities can be performed most efficiently and safely.
