PM/Work Templates can be set up on various schedules. This is one of the scheduling structures. PM/Work Templates are scheduled in the WO Scheduling Tab for individual PMs. For grouped PMs, these schedules are set up in the Grouped PMs tab.
Complete the following steps to set up a floating schedule using the WO end date:
Enter an end date in the End Date field (highlighted in blue below).
Note: This field will be automatically updated with the work order's end date once the work order is completed).
Select the interval at which the PM will be generated (highlighted in blue below). In other words, select the time lapse between each work order generation.
Click in the Next Date field and the date will automatically be populated based on the end date and the selected interval, or you can manually enter a date (highlighted in pink below).
Note: The Next Date field must be vacant before it can be automatically populated.
Once the PM work order is generated, the status will automatically read "2 = WO Generated" and the WO number and date initiated fields will be populated.
Note: Only one open work order per PM is allowed at a time. You must close the work order before the next PM can be generated.
Each timea PM work order is closed, the PM schedule resets itself. Once a PM is reset, the status will automatically update to read "1 = Awaiting WO Generation" until that work order is generated.
