Is a Rotating Item Necessary to Use Master/Associated PM Records

Troubleshooting


Problem

Attempts to create associated PMs using a master PM with no item referenced results in no associated PMs being created.

Symptom

1. Create a new Master PM record.
2. Check check-box "Create Associated PMs for Item's Location" and check check-box "Create Associated PMs for Item's Asset".
3. Go to Job Plan Sequence tab, add a new job plan. Click the arrow next to the Job Plan field to bring up a value list and select the appropriate job plan.
4. Go to the Select Action menu and choose "Create associated PM".


There are no assets listed to be used for the associated PM in the Create Associate PMs dialog.

Cause

No Item has been referenced on the master PM, it appears an Item is needed in order to create associated PMs.

Environment

7.5

Resolving The Problem

The Master PM application does NOT necessarily need an ITEM.
A PM record can be associated to a master PM from within the PM
application. Create the master PM in the Master PM application then go to the PM application and recall each record you want associated with the master PM. Reference the master PM in the Master PM field for each PM record.
