Replace Obsolete Standard Job Revisions
Explanation
This activity is used to replace obsolete standard job revisions
that are connected to PM actions. You
can either replace the revisions individually or process it in batches.
It is possible to view a summary of the registered
separate and route PM actions and work orders that have connections to obsolete
standard jobs. To do so right-click on the relevant standard job in the
Standard Jobs,
Separate Standard Jobs or
Route Standard Jobs
windows and click Obsolete Revisions on PM Actions or Obsolete
Revisions on Active Work Orders. The right-mouse-button options will
only be available for active standard job revisions.
Prerequisites
- A connection between the obsolete standard job
revision and the PM action must exist.
- An active revision of the obsolete standard job revision
must exist in the system.
- The connected PM action must be in the Preliminary
or Active status.
System Effects
- If the obsolete standard job revision is connected to a PM action in Preliminary status, this PM Action will be updated with the active standard job revision
- If the obsolete standard job revision is connected to a PM action in Active status, a new revision of the PM Action will be created with the active standard job revision. This is done automatically unless there are exceptions, e.g., the revision number of the PM action is a non-numeric value or preliminary PM Action exist. For such PM actions you need to manually create a new revision of the PM action and make the connection to the active standard job. The background job for replacing obsolete standard job revisions will be updated with information on the exceptions that need to be handled manually.
