Define Settings for Maintenance 2 (CRS789)

… the default service that is to be used to generate a planned work order/work request when a complaint is registered in 'Complaint. Open' (MOS500).

Note that a service will only be generated if no default service is registered in/for:

- The error code in 'Error Code 1. Open' (MOS572), or in –'Error Code 1. Connect to Position' (MOS449).

Leave this field blank if you do not plan to use complaints.

… a default service to be used for reporting service history in 'Equipment. Update History' (MOS290) when a component is entered into the system. This service is also used for calculating next due service date.

The service entered here must be defined as a general service with a blank product and service level 1. When M3 calculates the next due service, this default service will be replaced by the component specific service.

Leave this field blank if you do not plan to introduce old components into the system. This function is not normally used in plant maintenance.

… the first planning meter to be used as a default when positions are created in MOS440 if the next higher position does not have a meter. If the next higher position has a meter, the meter here is not used.

The meter entered here is also used as a default in 'Item. Open' (MMS001) when new serialized item/equipment records are created in 'Equipment/Serialized Item. Open' (MMS240).

… the second planning meter to be used as a default when positions are created in MOS440 if the next higher position does not have a meter. If the next higher position has a meter, the meter here is not used.

The meter entered here is also used as a default in 'Item. Open' (MMS001) when new serialized item/equipment records are created in 'Equipment/Serialized Item. Open' (MMS240).

… the third planning meter to be used as a default when positions are created in MOS440 if the next higher position does not have a meter. If the next higher position has a meter, the meter here is not used.

The meter entered here is also used as a default in 'Item. Open' (MMS001) when new serialized item/equipment records are created in 'Equipment/Serialized Item. Open' (MMS240).

… the fourth planning meter to be used as a default when positions are created in MOS440 if the next higher position does not have a meter. If the next higher position has a meter, the meter here is not used.

The meter entered here is also used as a default in 'Item. Open' (MMS001) when new serialized item/equipment records are created in 'Equipment/Serialized Item. Open' (MMS240).

… the default validation when new service records are created in 'Service. Open' (MOS300).

The valid alternatives are:

0 = No validation

1 = Create services against the item table

2 = Create services against the equipment table

3 = Create services against the position table

This default may be changed on the (MOS300/P) panel.

The normal setting for plant maintenance is 2, and the normal setting for depot service is 1.

… whether the field Structure type should be automatically assigned a number (001, 002, etc.) when left blank during new registration.

The purpose of assigning a number is to allow the same operation and sequence numbers to be registered in a product structure. As a result, the different services (and product structure) will create separate work orders and will not be netted.

This function is normally not selected for plant maintenance.

… whether a related service should be automatically created when a new service is defined.

A related service will only be created if the following two conditions are met:

1. A default service registered in parameter 23 in Setting - Maintenance 1 (CRS788).

2. The main service requires that a component be removed before the actual service can be performed. This requirement is identified by the 'Component installed' field in (MOS300/F).

This function is normally not selected for plant maintenance.

… whether the Completion flag in (MOS300/P) should be defaulted. If this parameter is selected, each new user will have this parameter selected in (MOS300/P). In (MOS300/P) this parameter may be changed for individual users, which will affect each new service that that user creates. This default is then used as the default for the field in (MOS301/E). The actual setting for this parameter is set in (MOS301/P), and governs its actual use in (MOS070).

This parameter is normally selected for plant maintenance.

… whether released work orders should have the status automatically set to 70. This removes the need to manually approve work before it can be generated again.

This setting can be changed on the (MOS300/P) panel.

This parameter is normally selected in plant maintenance.

… the authority through which the maintenance organization is authorized or certified to perform maintenance work.

This function is normally used within for example the aviation industry but not in plant maintenance.

… whether to create a function number in 'Item. Define Relations' (MMS020) and with which first character.

This function is normally not used in plant maintenance.

… a number of days within which a small service will suppressed if a major service is due. The system will consider how close the minor service is to the major service when the services are out of synchronization.

Note that service suppression will only work if something is entered in this field.

… when a warning should be issued because costs related to a maintenance customer order should be issued. Warnings are issued either when the repair cost of an item is too high (application message type 711), or when the material cost on a maintenance customer order line is too high (application message type 712).

The maximum repair cost for an item is entered as a percentage of the cost of a new component on the customer agreement in 'Maint Agrmnt. Open' (COS410/F).

The maximum material cost is defined per agreement line in 'Maintenance Agreement. Open Line' (COS411/F).

If you enter 50 in this field, warnings will be issued when the cost has reached 50% of the respective maximum values.

This function is only used when you use maintenance customer orders.

… whether it should be possible to manually update the 'Extra quantity' field in 'Item. Open' (MMS001/K).

The extra quantity is used in rotable optimal float calculations.

This is normally not used in plant maintenance.

… the internal lead time that is used in the optimal float calculation.

The lead time is expressed in days, and covers all internal time, with the exception of the actual repair time.

This is normally not used in plant maintenance.

… if it should be possible to update the Owner field in (MMS240/E) or (MMS235/F).

If exchange services are provided, the owner must be changed through reclassification of the serialized item. Otherwise, the field is for information only.

The valid alternatives are:

1. If the check box is cleared, update is done via reclassification in (MMS130).

2. If the check box is selected, manual update is permitted.

This parameter is normally selected for plant maintenance and not selected for depot service management.

… whether the operation from date in (PDS002) should be used as sequence number to allow more than 10000 operations.

If this field is selected, it is important to enter the same number for all operations and materials within the same service. This number must be unique for each service.

Note that you should never change this setting once you have decided how to work and once you have started working.

This is normally not used in plant maintenance.

… whether a check should be done to ensure that all items that are required to have at least one planned WO have one in (MOS170).

Only items that have at least one service registered in (MOS300) without schedule code 4 and with a service level defined as greater than 1. If no planned work orders are found for such items, a planned work order will be created using the service defined in parameter 2 in (CRS789).

This is normally not used in plant maintenance.

… whether a check should be performed to find overdue planned work orders/work order requests in (MOS170). If any are found, a message is sent to the planner responsible for the planned work. The serialized item's/equipment's operational status will also be automatically set to 80 (unserviceable) in (MMS240).

The mail can either be sent to the mailbox in M3 (CRS420) or to an external mailbox - see (CRS111).

… whether 'Master Schedule. Regenerate' (MOS999) should be locked.

If selected, it will not be possible to select regeneration method 3 (complete regeneration) in (MOS999).

This parameter should be selected after go live.
