Problem:
You want to schedule work orders that are done twice
a year, but not at regular intervals.
Solution:
Make two schedule records for each job. Make them each
annual and give the date.
Problem:
You want to change schedule dates to the 5th of each month
Solution:
Change SCHEDDAT to SUBSTR(SCHEDDAT,1,6)+"05"
Problem:
You are having trouble getting P-basis PM recs to come out.
Solution:
If you change the PMPLANID field after the Work Order is produced, it does not update AVAIL in the original PM record when the WO is moved to history
and so it never comes out. This is because it matches PMPLANID,SYSTEM,EQUIPNUM to find the right record to update in the SCHED file. If the pluck
is successful, try to match the WONUM. If that is
successful, the AVAIL flag is set to Y. If the WONUM doesn't
match, try to match it with the next rec where the pluck is
still true. If not, the update is skipped.
Problem:
You have "Stop" dates in the P basis schedule records and work orders
are not producing even before the stop dates.
Solution:
Some work orders probably had not been completed and the AVAIL
code was set to N. Reset the AVAIL codes and the work orders should be
produced.
Problem:
You want to get information from the equipment file and the
schedule file.
Solution:
1. Create a new custom report base it off of the PM Master file
2. Pick any of the schedule fields you want, for any equipment
fields you want, preface them with equip., i.e. equip.model
3. Special conditions would be equipnum ne " " from equip pluck
sched.equipnum
4. Special instructions would be: use equip.mst with equip.ind
Problem:
All PMs are set to P basis. How does this work?
Solution:
P does not take effect until the records are generated once.
They won't come out again until the most recent set, generated
on P basis, are completed.
Problem:
Is "time recording" by hours and minutes or decimals?
Solution:
Decimals. One and 1/2 hours is 1.5, not 1.3.
