Yes, a good candidate for an Enhancement Request indeed !!!
Possible workarounds I would suggest :
1) When the involved asset/location of all Routes Stops is always the one of the PM, a solution is of course : a Jobplan + (Nested jobplan when children WOs are wanted) + Sequencement.
2) When each stop involve possibly a different asset/location, a first workaround could be:
- Create a PM Hierarchy with 2 Children PM :
- one child PM for "filters" with an additional attribute, let's say, "PM child Sequence", its value would be 1.
- one child PM for "hoses", its "PM Child sequence" would be 6.
- Create 2 escalations for ON/OFF the second Child PM based on the PMCounter of Parent PM:
- one to activate child PM when "PM child Sequence">1 and decimal part of ((PMCounter of PM Parent + 1) / "PM Child sequence")=0
- one to unactivate child PM when "PM child Sequence">1 and decimal part of ((PMCounter of PM Parent + 1) / "PM Child sequence")<>0
- (then make sure to run them quite often).
However, I see 2 potentially big issues with that "improvement":
- the "PM Forecast" fonctionality plus Graphical scheduling will ignore such "improvement"
- 5 times on 6, you will get a WO hierarchy with one parent and one child. Quite bizarre IMO.
3) When each stop involve possibly a different asset/location AND the PM Forecast is needed, a second workaround I'd suggest would be :
- Create 2 separate PMs (one for "filters" one for "hoses") whith their own Route, Frequency, ...
- Lets Maximo generate independent WOs
- Ease the "grouping" of generated independent WOs thanks to a special "tag" that make them easy to group by the Planner :
- either in Wotrack : select "tagged" WOS then use the "Create Work Package" action
- or in Graphical scheduling : select "tagged" WOS then use the "Create Work Package" action (right click...and so on).
