Defining Maintenance Settings

This document explains how you set up the basic parameters to run M3 Maintenance.

Outcome

Basic parameters are configured to support the company's procedures.

You can use this information as a basis for configuring separate component groups.

Before you start

  • Meters must be defined in 'Meter. Open' (MMS051).
  • Numbering System 28/A must be defined in 'Number Series. Open' (CRS165).
  • Warehouses should be defined (must be totally separate for maintenance equipment) in 'Warehouse. Open' (MMS005).
  • Locations should be defined for installation and test in 'Stock Location. Open' (MMS010).
  • Order types for removal / installation and move must be defined in 'Removal/Installation Transaction Type. Open' (MOS123).
  • Structure types must be defined for blank and non-blank values in 'Product Structure Type. Open' (CRS087).
  • A costing model must be defined in 'Costing Model. Open' (PCS025).
  • A period frame must be defined 'Period Frame. Open' (MMS083).
  • Forecast logic must be defined in 'Forecast Logic. Open' (FCS305).
  • A general service for alarms should be defined in 'Service. Open' (MOS300).
  • A meter must be defined in 'Meter. Open' (MMS051).

  • A facility must exist in 'Facility. Open' (CRS008).
  • An item type must exist in 'Item Type. Open' (CRS040).

Follow These Steps

  1. Define Maintenance Settings 2

    These settings control a number of default services that are to be generated at certain points in the work order flow. Examples are services to be generated after removals and installations.

    These settings also control what planning meters are to be defaulted when new equipment is created, and when new position records are created and the next higher position does not have a meter.

    Other basic settings define how the basic settings are to be defaulted in 'Service. Open' (MOS300).

    Define maintenance settings in 'Settings – Maintenance 2' (CRS789).

  2. Define Maintenance Settings 1

    This set of parameters contains a number of defaults within the maintenance system such as order types for equipment installations and removals, default cost model for plant maintenance, default planning horizon and period frame.

    Define these settings in 'Settings – Maintenance 1' (CRS788).

  3. Define Settings for Data Collection

    Define settings for data collection to determine the rules that should apply for operation reporting. These rules are defined per company or per facility and contain for example rules about time calculation, authorization and diagnostics creation.

    Define data collection settings in 'Settings – WO Operation Reporting (MOS991) or 'Settings – Operation Reporting/Facility' (MOS990).
