Question 3120 : Reset Counter Start-in-Cycle

In SAP Plant Maintenance as at ECC6.0 EhP6, assume the following scenario and select the correct answer ?

A Single-Cycle Counter-Based Maintenance Plan with the following:
. Single-Cycle is 15000 hours
. Current counter reading at 30200 hours,
. Annual Estimate for the Counter is 30000 hours,
At the point of executing IP10, the current latest counter reading was at 30200 hours, and the Planner accidentally set the Start in Cycle counter to zero when performing an On-Line Scheduling.
(All due maintenance orders were already completed at the point of the scheduling and no other maintenance orders were released while future plans are at status 'On Hold')

(only one answer)

A)   No changes to existing plans.
B)   System would issue error message as the current counter is at 30200 hours where No Counter Re-set was found for the counter.
C)   2 Maintenance Orders are created.
D)   1 Maintenance Order is created.
E)    2 new 'On-Hold' scheduled lines are created.

  1. You do not have to reset the counter (via IK11) in order to the perform the above task of reset the cycle start to zero. When reset the cycle start to zero it does not change the Total Counter Readings. Therefore, the system thinks that the counter is zero when at scheduling time and so it creates 2 maintenance order is the cycle is 15000 hours but Annual Estimate is 30000 hours where current counter reading is at 30200 hours; the system thinks that 2 maintenance order already overdue at the point of scheduling.

    Be extra careful when performing on-line scheduling and changing or resetting the start in cycle, this action does not change the actual counter readings nor any effect to the Total Counter Readings and you may end up with multiple maintenance orders suddenly being generated due to the action.
