The Maintenance Planning Overview app allows the planner to analyze critical factors in a chosen reference period, such as outstanding notifications, maintenance orders, purchase requisitions, and purchase orders. The app displays the data in multiple cards that show the number of objects and their status. The planner can use the default filters or adapt them according to their needs.
The activities that the planner can perform by using the app with the default filters are:
Display approved purchase requisitions for which NO purchase orders have been generated. This is shown in the card “Purchase Requisitions Not Released” which displays the number of purchase requisitions that have been approved but not converted into purchase orders. The planner can navigate to the list of purchase requisitions and take further actions, such as creating purchase orders or changing the requirement date.
Analyze overdue maintenance orders that have NOT been finally confirmed. This is shown in the card “Overdue Orders” which displays the number of maintenance orders that have been released but not completed within the planned end date. The planner can navigate to the list of overdue orders and check the status of the operations, confirmations, and goods movements.
Analyze maintenance orders that are still in planning and have NOT been released. This is shown in the card “Orders in Planning” which displays the number of maintenance orders that have not been released for execution. The planner can navigate to the list of orders in planning and complete the planning activities, such as assigning task lists, materials, and resources.
The activities that the planner cannot perform by using the app with the default filters are:
Display approved purchase requisitions for which purchase orders have been generated. This is not shown in any of the cards in the app. The planner can use the app “Manage Purchase Requisitions” to display this information.
Analyze confirmed maintenance orders that have NOT been settled. This is not shown in any of the cards in the app. The planner can use the app “Maintenance Order Costs Analysis” to display this information.
