About this task

A schedule occurrence in Planned Work Management is a particular event within a repeating maintenance schedule. Each schedule occurrence is an automatically created record, representing one planned maintenance event as part of an ongoing schedule. It serves as a link between the maintenance plan and the work order that will be carried out. Schedule occurrences also helps in auditing the previous work orders for the maintenance plan.

For duration-based schedules (Trigger in the work schedule is Duration), the schedule occurrences are created immediately when a work schedule is configured.

For meter-based schedules (Trigger in the work schedule is Duration), the schedule occurrences are created only when the meter threshold is reached.

Schedule occurrences are numbered sequentially based on the creation order. Upon configuring the schedule, schedule occurrences with Pending state are created for the next immediate maintenance work required. Once the work orders for these schedule occurrences are created, the state is updated to Scheduled and new schedule occurrences for the next maintenance is generated.
