Dependent Schedules - PM

Dependent Schedules - PM

NEXGEN allows users to make schedules on a PM parent record to be dependent on each other. When schedules are dependent on each other, one will adjust when the other fires a PM WO. For example, if there are two dependent schedules on a fleet maintenance PM, one calling for an oil change every X miles and one calling for an oil change every Y months, linking the schedules together into a dependency makes it so that the next trigger numbers will update according to whichever schedule was met first.

Make PM Schedules Dependent

To make PM schedules dependent on one another:
  1. Create or open a parent PM.
  2. Ensure that the parent PM has both a date and meter schedule attached.
    1. If you can't add a meter schedule, check to see that an asset is attached to the parent PM.
  3. In the Schedule zone, click the Dependent Schedules button.
  4. Using the drop-down menu in the pop-up, select a meter schedule to link to a date schedule.
  5. Click Save. A small triangle-shaped icon will appear next to each schedule to denote that they are dependent.
