Has anyone implemented any Preventive Maintenance Plans to be scheduled by Specific Days of the week? We have a number of Gas Compressors that need to be scheduled for operations reasons on specific days of the week.

Example

Station 1 Compressor needs to be scheduled the first Tuesday of every month for a 4 hour PM.

Station 2 Compressor needs to be scheduled the first Wednesday of every month for its 4 hour PM.

Station 3 Compressor needs to be scheduled the first Thursday of every month for its 4 hour PM.

Because these are on different pipelines, operations schedules a 4 hour outage and shuts the lines down and everyone schedules their work on these days.

How can I get the Maintenance Plans to show the specific days of the week that the plan is due?

I haven't used the following function but from SAP help I believe you will need to use SAP User Exit IPRM0002. I have attached the SAP Help text for this function below.

Example Customer Exit IPRM0002 (2)

Customer exit: IPRM0002

Function module: EXIT_SAPLIPM5_002

The system calculates the planned dates for your machine on the basis of the specified cycles. You want to adjust these planned dates to meet your company's individual requirements.

You require, for example, that the calculated planned dates always fall on a workday - never on Sundays or holidays. This means, for example, that if the next planned date is due on January 1, the system should determine the next workday.
For example, you require that the date for an inspection and maintenance always occurs on the first Monday in the month.

Try to use "Time-key date" scheduling indicator in Maintenance plan scheduling parameter and setup your package 1 mon

Hope this help.

"Time-key date" scheduling indicator can be used to ensure that your plan is always scheduled for the same date each month. For example, to ensure that it is always scheduled for the 4th of the month. However, it cannot be used to ensure that the job always occurs on the first Tuesday of the month.

Create Factory Calendars where the first Tuesday (or whatever day) is the only work day.
Then create maint plans "Time-factory caldr"

The cycle unit would be 1 day
