Set Planned Start and Finish Date

Explanation

This activity is used to set the planned start date for the work order. You can also enter the finish date for a work order, if appropriate. Also the execution time (planned hours) can be entered, i.e., the number of hours within the date interval.  

Prerequisites

Before the information is entered, the work order must have been retrieved in the window.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, the planned start and finish dates are entered.

If IFS/Vehicle Information Management is used, the planned start and planned finish dates on the corresponding maintenance order will be updated with the planned start and finish dates you entered on the top work order in the structure. If these cause the planned dates on the maintenance order to fall outside the defined required date interval, the Planned Duration of Order Exceeds Required Date Interval check box on the maintenance order will be selected.
