Define Maintenance Program

Explanation

This activity is used to define the general data for a maintenance program. 

Only one revision of a maintenance program can be active at any given point in time. When you set a new revision of a maintenance program active, an informational message will appear reminding you that the current active maintenance program will be set to obsolete, and give you the possibility to cancel the action.

A part number may be defined for more than one active maintenance program. This gives the opportunity to define different maintenance intervals for serials with the same part number. The same maintenance program may influence a part number having different maintenance groups.

Documents may be connected to a maintenance program.
