Maintenance schedule cost
You can calculate budget costs on any maintenance schedule line. This method helps you get an overview of the expected costs on planned preventive maintenance for a specific year, for instance. These costs are based on existing scheduled lines of maintenance plans, maintenance rounds, and maintenance requests.
To calculate budget costs on a maintenance schedule life, follow these steps:
- Go to Asset management > Inquiries > Assets > Maintenance schedule cost.
- Select a Financial dimension set that you want to use. This selection allows you to see cost groups in financial dimensions.
- In the Level field, indicate how detailed you want the maintenance schedule lines to be regarding functional locations.
- For example, if you insert the number 2 in the field, and you have a multi-level functional location structure, all maintenance schedule lines for a functional location will be shown on the top level; therefore, the hours on a line might be added from functional locations that are located at a lower level. If you insert the number 0 in the Level field, you will see a detailed result that shows all maintenance schedule lines on all the functional location levels to which they are related.
- Choose specific assets by selecting Filter in the Records to include field, where you are able to set the Expected start date or select the Status for the cost calculation.
- Select OK to perform the calculation.
- On the Maintenance schedule cost page, you will be able to get a more in-depth view by using the Group by options in the FastTab. As shown in the following image, you can group by several different options.
- Repeat the process by selecting the Calculate cost button in the Action Pane.
