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.
•  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.
