Setting up Object Parts, Groups, and Related Codes

When creating a request for work, you can add one or more events that identify the problem the requested work is meant to correct. A recommended event consists of up to four catalog codes:
•
Object part group – Identifies a category of assets, for example, pumps or motors. Part groups are used to filter the parts applicable to a type of asset
•
Object part – Identifies a component of a part group, for example, a pump discharge nozzle
•
Damage code – Provides a predefined category to describe asset damage, for example, ARLK for Air Leak
•
Activity code – Identifies the work required, for example, Replace
There is a hierarchical relationship between these objects. Damage codes are limited based on the specified object part. Activity codes are limited based on the damage code.
When interop work requests arrive via AWEIS from the CMMS, APM is populated with their object parts, damage codes, and activity codes. In APM, you can modify and create these objects.
Note: The site interoperability profile determines whether recommendations from events (and object parts) or failure codes are used in requests for work. For more information, see Setting up Site Interoperability Profiles for AWEIS.
This topic explains how to create object part groups, parts, damage codes, and activity codes.

To Create Object Part Components

1.
From the Site window, select the Work Management view and the Settings tab. Select the Work Management tab and the Interoperability work management settings node in the tree.
Tip: You can also select the Administration menu and then Work Management Settings. The Work Management Settings dialog appears.
2.
Select the Object Parts tab and the Groups tab. For example:
3.
Click New. The Object Part Group dialog appears:
4.
Provide a descriptive name and title for the group, as well as an abbreviation.
5.
Select the Object Parts tab and click New. The Object Part Properties dialog appears:
6.
Provide a name or code to identify the part, as well as a title and abbreviation.
7.
Select the Damage Code tab and click New. The Damage Code Properties dialog appears:
8.
Provide a name or code to identify the damage code, as well as a title and abbreviation.
9.
Select the Failures tab.
10.
Select an option for creating failure records for the damage code. Failure records can be created in one of these situations:
•
Every recommendation from event that identifies the damage code has a failure record
•
Only the highest priority event that identifies the damage code has a failure record
11.
On the General tab, create as many activity codes as needed. Click New to open the Activity Code Properties dialog:
12.
Provide a name or code to identify the activity, as well as a title and abbreviation.
13.
Select the work priority. The priority is used to evaluate multiple events when they are added to a request for work.
14.
Click Calculate work completion date to determine a request for work’s projected completion date based on the duration.
Note: This option and the duration are not available on the activity code if the selected priority does not require that the completion date be calculated.
15.
Enter the work completion duration, the estimated amount of time required to complete the work.
16.
Select the Checksheet Generation tab:
17.
Click Generate checksheet to enable the functionality.
18.
Select the standard task template to use.
19.
The Checksheet generation settings for the site interoperability profile area displays the settings from the profile. Click Edit Settings if you wish to change the profile. The Edit Checksheet Generation Settings dialog appears, where you can make changes.
20.
Select the Maintenance Groups tab:
21.
Click New to open the Activity Code Maintenance Group Settings dialog:
22.
Select a maintenance group.
23.
Select work type and classification defaults for requests for work with this activity code and maintenance group.
24.
Click OK.
25.
Select the Description tab to add more information.
26.
When you are finished defining the activity code, click OK. The code is added to the Damage Code Properties dialog.
27.
Click OK to close the Damage Code Properties dialog. The damage code is added to the Object Part Properties dialog.
28.
Click OK to close the Object Part Properties dialog.
29.
Click OK to close the Object Part Group Properties dialog.
