Question & Answer
Question
Is there a precedence for PM Work Order generation when both time-based and meter-based frequencies are applied to the PM record?
Cause
There is a precedence of PM Work Order generation when a PM record has any combination of Forecast Dates, a time-based frequency, and a meter-based frequency.
Answer
There are a few scenarios regarding PM Work Order Generation that are frequently misunderstood, or previously not precisely documented. In some cases, the results are unexpected by some Maximo users.
- If there is a Forecast for a PM, which has populated a Forecast Date on the PM, then a Work Order will generate on that date. The Work Order will generate on this date regardless of whether the PM is set up to only generate Work Orders when a meter frequency is reached. The summary is that the Forecast Date overrides any meter frequency that is currently applied to the PM.
- If a PM has both a time-based frequency and a meter-based frequency associated to it, then the Work Orders will generate upon whichever of these frequency intervals is met first. In other words, if a PM has a time-based frequency of 30 days as well as a meter based frequency of 100 hours, then a Work Order will get generated at either 30 days or 100 hours, whichever happens first.
*In the above example, the Forecast Date will overrule either frequency, and the Work Order will generate upon the Forecast Date, because the "Forecast Exists?" field is checked:
