Please give me some help with this with a "for dummies " explanation
Every year, the client has to commit shutdown maintenance of several parts of the plant. For this, a general maintenance planner has to design and create the maintenance plans for specific equipments that will be subject to this shutdown maintenance.
When he creates these shutdown maintenance plans, he needs to group these new shutdown plans in a specific way in order to differentiate them from normal maintenance plans not shutdown related, like SA1 for “Shutdown area 1â€, SA2 for “Shutdown area 2†and so on.
Later, the maintenance worker wants to see in the system which preventive maintenance orders correspond to shutdown areas of his specific competence only. He will open his session, go to a transaction like IW38 or similar and will search for all the preventive maintenance orders for “shutdown area 1†so to say, as he wants to sort these from the ordinary PM03 maintenance orders: only the orders for the shutdown area 1. This is the requirement then: Find the maintenance orders that come from these shutdown maintenance plans as were assigned by the general maintenance planner beforehand.
Constraints:
These so called shutdown areas do not correspond to functional locations or work centers so he needs another way to sort them.
We cannot create a new order type for this requirement for template constraints
Shutdown maintenance will be done through maintenance plans
We can use sorting fields for this
Thank you for any help or feedback that can be provided!
