Problem with PMs

From: Incomm Solutions Inc. (2013-10-01 08:26)

Hi guys: I'm having a problem with some PMs for a client. I escalated to
IBM, but so far we haven't figured out what's going on.

The setup is:
- Maximo 7.5.04
- Meter-based PMs (some have time frequencies as well, but not all)
- Target Start Date: No (so they're on a floating schedule)
- The "Generate Work Order Based on Meter Readings (Do Not
Estimate)" - turned off - both at the PM level and at the Org level
- No forecast (we had one, but deleted it)

What's happening is:
- Estimated Next Due Date is incrementing by 1 day every day.
- The Units to Go are being updated when a meter reading is
inputted, or the last work order is completed, and is correct at the time.
But it's never updated after that, until a new reading is entered.
- In between meter readings, Maximo says that the PM is not due,
even though if you divide the Average Units per Day into the Units to Go,
it's overdue.
- Once a new reading is entered, the Maximo suddenly registers the
PM as overdue, and kicks out a work order.

In summary, it seems that

a) even though the "Do Not Estimate" is turned off, Maximo seems to be
doing it anyway, OR
b) it seems to be calculating the Estimated Next Due Date as (Units to
Go / Average Units per Day) + {Current Date} (rather than Last Completion
Date or Last Meter Reading Date)


Does anyone have any ideas? We're rather stuck at the moment.

A quick check you can do is to make sure ASSETNUM in PM matches ASSETNUM in PMMETER. If ASSETNUM in PMMETER has a different ASSETNUM, then would explain some of the wonky behavior. 7.5.0.5 fix pack also addresses some bugs with PmWoGen.

select pm.pmnum, pm.assetnum, pmm.pmnum, pmm.assetnum from pm join pmmeter pmm on pm.pmnum = pmm.pmnum where pm.assetnum <> pmm.assetnum
