Reinitiate Demands

Explanation

This activity is used to reinitiate demands for a maintenance order to ensure that any changes to resources and/or material on a task card or subtask are handled. Any changes in the task library to resources and material on the task cards or subtasks that are included on the selected event will be retrieved at this time. For material demands, you have the option of retaining existing reservations and peggings. Following will take place when resource and material demands are reinitiated:

• Demands that have been added to the task card or subtask on the event will be added to the maintenance order.
• Demands that have been removed from the task card or subtask on the event will be removed from the maintenance order.
• Demand lines on the maintenance order will be updated with any changes that have been made to the resource or material demand in the task library.

Prerequisites

• A maintenance order must exist in the Under Preparation status.
• Events must be connected to the maintenance order, and at least one task card must be connected to the event. The event should not have the Manual Event event type.

System Effects

• All new and updated resource and material demands associated with the task card will be retrieved.
• If demands have been released on the maintenance order, resource activities will be generated, updated or removed based on the resource demand changes. Material demands will be released, updated or deleted based on the changes to material demands.
• If the maintenance order has the Execution Logic Structure distribution type and grouping is done on resources, task cards and subtasks for which resources were added, changed or removed will be added/copied to the relevant ELO nodes in the execution logic structure for the maintenance order.
