AutoPlan PM WO from DMP Card

  • Start from TAG Maint. Manager Role Center Profile.

  • Go to the TAG Planning Section and click on the TAG Date Meter Policies menu.

    • Select a Date Meter Policy Record (DMP) and open the card.
  • Confirm the DMP Record values as in previous step.

  • Go to Tracking FastTab on the target DMP card

    • Check field Released WO to confirm a WO does not exist for this DMP.
      • (the fields are a flow field to the WO list)
      • Note: If a WO does exist, resolve by Completing or Deleting the record.
      • If a WO does not exist, proceed to autoplan
  • On the Ribbon for the DMP card click on action button "Autoplan PM WO"

    • On Autoplan PM WO dialogue box check that
      • The policy No is the same as your target DMP
      • The Evaluate through date is later than Next service date on the DMP
      • Evaluate PM type = Date Meters
    • Click "Ok" on the Autoplan PM WO dialogue box
  • A message will show indicating that a Work Order has been created. Default configuration is a Released Work Order.

  • Return to the Tracking FastTab on the target DMP record and refresh the page. Check Released WO field to confirm a WO now exists for this DMP record. (the fields are a flow field to the WO list)

  • Drill into the WO list and open the WO card specific to the DMP

    • The Description and Equipment should be the same as the source DMP
    • In Tracking FastTab the field Policy no should be the same as the source DMP
  • Complete the Released WO by clicking action button "Complete" in the WO ribbon.

    • This action will delete the RWO and create a FWO
    • This action will update the DMP field "Last service date" from the completed RWO
    • Update of the last service date will calculate the next service date on the DMP.
  • Return to the target DMP record

    • Scroll down to the Values FastTab and confirm the last service date and next service date are updated
    • Scroll down to the Tracking FastTab and confirm the finished Work Order.
  • Note: the above steps are designed to minimize validation errors. Alternative and more advanced setups and generation methods can be configured for different results. There is a brief description of other generation methods in section additional detail. Contact **VSD **for more information.
  • Note: if the message shows that 0 work orders were created, and there was an error. Check the DMP record> Tracking FastTab> field Autoplan PM error Text. Resolve the error if related to setup or config.If the message is "you are not a licensed TAG user" check your user setup at the beginning of this document.
  • Note: if the message shows that 0 work orders were created, it means that the system calculates that the PM is not due. Some typical reasons:
  • Activate Date on the DMP = no or Blocked = yes
  • To resolve change the field values on the DMP
  • A PWO or RWO Work Order already exists for that DMP
  • To resolve you can go to Tracking FastTab as described and complete or delete the WO found.
  • The target DMP equipment field values do not match the dialogue box filters
    • Open the DMP Equipment
    • Check that the equipment fields Duty Type and Duty Status are as expected
