  • 1.  Scheduled Start Date for PM Work Orders

    Posted Thu February 03, 2022 06:04 AM
    Hi All.

    We have noticed that for some PM Work orders which are generated, the scheduled start date is populated, whereas for other PM work orders it is not populated. Is there any field on the PM or Job Plan which controls this? Would appreciate if anyone has got any insights?

    Never seen that happen without some script or escalation or an SLA being applied.  Do you see any pattern like its based on the worktype?

    Thanks Craig. I was coming from this technote from IBM

    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/workorder-generated-pm-has-scheduled-start-and-finish-dates-populated

    The job plans are not having any labor, but they have craft associated with it. So was wondering if I was missing something.

    I guess then there must be some custom setup and I will explore further on this.

    Hi Priyaranjandas

    That is one of those little to unknown features you have revealed to me. 

    I create a JP with a single labor, I do note that no craft was added.  When I assigned the JP to a new work order, the scheduled dates were populated.  I then went back to the same JP, revised it and removed the labor and added a cratt.  I assigned the JP to a new work order and bingo, no scheduled dates.

    While I see that this functionality was added in Maximo 7.5, I'm going "why"? Oh, why!

    As the technote says "It better practice to use a CRAFT on the job plan and managing assignments after generation of the work plan."

    Maximo has secrets, many secrets.  It's kept me interested and learning for 25+ years.

    It turned out to be a configuration where the date was set through an action in the workflow.

    Also found this while searching in the community:
