Import Maintenance Workload
Explanation
This activity is used to import tasks from IFS/Maintenance. These tasks are considered resource breaks within CBS. Neither Maintenance break dates and times nor CBS break times can be modified.
Prerequisites
This activity has the following prerequisites:
- IFS/Maintenance must be installed.
- Either a CBS site or an Advanced Planning Board (APB) site must be defined
and enabled in the
Scheduling Basic Data window.
The tasks that will be imported as resource
breaks has to fulfill the following constraints:
- The task site should be the same site where the
import is done for.
- The task should be connected to a object
which represents a work center resource or a tool instance.
- The operational status on the task should
be Obstructive.
- Planned finish date on the task has to be
defined and should be before the end of the scheduling horizon
- Planned start date on the task has to be
defined and should be after the start of the scheduling horizon.
- The task status should be
Under Preparation, Prepared, Released or Started.
- The execution time ( planned start/finish) needs to be defined on the
task.
System Effects
As a result of this activity:
- The system deletes corresponding resource breaks for any closed or
canceled tasks when importing.
- The imported tasks are compared against the corresponding resource breaks. Any updated
tasks will update the corresponding resource breaks
and the new tasks will create new resource breaks.
