Example

Let's say you have a vehicle that needs three PMs:

1. PM A is scheduled for an oil change every 3 months,
2. PM B is scheduled for an oil change plus additive every 6 months, and
3. PM C is scheduled for an annual maintenance check every 1 year.

PMA is your regularly scheduled PM.  PMB  and PMC are tightly linked PMs and will be based on how often PMA is done.

The PMs will be set up in the following manner:

1. PMA will be scheduled in the Scheduling WOs tab.
2. PMB will be created by adding a record to the Affected PMs grid.
3. The Routine Code for PMA will be chosen.
4. The # Between PMs will be set to 1.
5. The # Remaining will be set to 1.
6. PMC will be created by adding a record to the Affected PMs grid.
7. The Routine Code for PMA will be chosen.
8. The # Between PMs will be set to 3
9. The # Remaining will be set to 3.

   Note: You are able to enter any number in the # Between PMs and # Remaining fields.  The numbers above were chosen to maintain the three month, six month, one year schedule laid out in the example.  By setting PMB to 1 and 1, the system will generated PMB after PMA has been done once and remains to be done once.  By setting PMC to 3 and 3, PMC will be generated after PMA has been done three times and remains to be done three times.  The work orders for PMs B and C will be generated based on PMA's work order date.
