PM Due Percentage Dependents

Applies to

TMT Fleet Maintenance

Description

Type or select the percentage used to trigger a Dependent PM. The minimum due percentage is 1%.

Options

85% (default)

Additional Notes

  1. If you set a PM to change the oil in a Unit every 3,000 miles, and set the Due PM detection level for 80%, you receive a notice when the mileage equals 2,400 miles (3,000 x .80). The report of mileage can come from Fuel Tickets, Trip Tickets, Repair Orders, or any other transaction that records mileage. Note that this percentage is based on the interval of the PM due. A PM level due at 1000 miles appears on the schedule at 800 miles. A PM level due at 10,000 miles appears on the schedule at 8000 miles.

  2. For Dependent PMs, the detection percentage selected is applied to the A PM level and used to determine if the higher dependent levels are due.

    For example: you have a unit with an A PM Due interval of 3000, a B PM Due interval of 6000, and a C PM Level Due interval of 12,000. Using 80%, the PM threshold is calculated as shown in the table below:

    PM Level PM Interval 80% Threshold based on the A Level 80% Threshold based on Actual %

    A

    3000

    2400

    2400

    B

    6000

    5400

    4800

    C

    12,000

    11,400

    9600

    Using this table with the calculation based on the A Level and the utilization since the last done date, the B will not be due unless it is more than 5400 and the C will not be due unless it is more than 11,400.

    Note that for the A Based calculation, the A Level Must contain an interval. If the A Level does not have an interval, the A Based calculation will not work.

    If the option Dependent PMs by Actual % Due by PM Level is set to Yes and the PM level is a dependent PM, the program will use the Component Level PM% if one is set up. If not, the global/shop level dependent percentage to determine if the level is due and apply the percentage directly to the interval for that PM. The A level will not be considered in determining the PM level’s threshold. Using the table above, the B will not be due unless it is more than 4800 and the C will not be due unless it is more than 9600.

    If the primary meter is due, the unit will show based on the primary meter regardless of the percentage due of other meter types for that PM Level. If the primary meter is not due, the unit will show based on the meter with the highest percentage for that PM Level. Exception: If the Primary meter is DAYS, the highest due meter due will show.

  3. This option can be overridden at the Shop Options level.

  4. The system looks for the setting at the Shop Options level first, then at the Application Options level.

  5. If the Shop Options is set differently from the Application Options, it becomes independent of the Application Options. Changing the Application Options does not sync the Shop Options.

Return All Dependent PMs That Are Due

Applies to

TMT Fleet Maintenance

Description

All dependent PMs that are due for a unit will be returned instead of the highest level due. For example, if a unit has a B level that would fall due based on the due percentage and the A would also be due based on the due percentage, if this option is checked both the A Level and B level will show on the PM Due report. If No is selected only the B level will be displayed.

Options

  • NO (default)
    Only the highest level PM due in a dependent schedule will appear in the PM Due report.

  • YES
    All dependent PMs that are due for a unit will be returned instead of the highest level due.

Additional notes

  1. This option can be overridden at the Shop Options level.

Schedule Dependent PMs By Actual % Due By PM Level

Applies to

TMT Fleet Maintenance

Description

The option sets how the program schedules dependent PMs.

Options

  • NO
    The program ignores any Component Level PM percentage for dependent PMs. It uses the Application/Shop Option dependent level percentage instead. The PM Due percentage is based on the A Level.

  • YES (default)
    The program uses the Component Level PM percentage, if one is set up, for dependent PMs. If the Component Level PM percentage in not set up, the program uses the Application/Shop Option dependent percentage to decide if the level is due. It applies the percentage directly to the interval for that PM. The program does not consider the A level in determining the PM level’s threshold.

Additional notes

  1. This option can be overridden at the Shop Options level.

  2. The system looks for the setting at the Shop Options level first, then at the Application Options level.

  3. If the Shop Options is set differently from the Application Options, it becomes independent of the Application Options. Changing the Application Options does not sync the Shop Options.

  4. If the primary meter is due, the program displays the unit based on the primary meter. It does this regardless of the percentage due for other meter types at that PM Level. If the primary meter is not due, it displays the unit based on the meter with the highest percentage for that PM Level.

    Exception: If the Primary meter is DAYS, the highest due meter due will show.
