Setting up Solution Package Types

In APM, you can define solution package types and assign their levels, providing names of your choosing as well as sequence numbers.

The SyncSolutionPackage XML message sent to APM from the CMMS includes the preplanned work’s level. In APM, the level is matched to the solution package type’s level (1 to 4). The solution package type identifies the type of new object, for example, maintenance plan. The site interoperability profile determines the behavior.
