How PM plans and Vehicle PM plans work?

Vehicle PM plan, once created, generates service schedules at intervals specified by selected PM plan. This means PM plan needs to be created first. You give it a name and set intervals. For example, every 2 years or 20,000 km/mi. Next, you create vehicle PM plan for one or more vehicles. You select one of the PM plans and set initial values. For example, on March 1st, 2023 or at 50,000 km/mi. You also specify that service schedule will be created 15 days or 1,000 km/mi in advance. Thus, service schedule will show up on February 15th, 2023 or at 49,000 km/mi (whichever comes first).

So, service schedule is created, and you deside to do your car maintenance on February 25th, 2023 with 45,000 km/mi on your odometer. All you have to do is create new vehicle service from that service schedule. As a result, vehicle PM plan will get updated with values in accordance with selected PM plan. In this case, next service schedule date will be February 25th, 2025 or 65,000 km/mi (whichever comes first).

Remarks

• After vehicle PM plan creates service schedule, it becomes disabled and does not generate new service schedules until new service is created from that service schedule or that service schedule is deleted.
• If, for example, you create vehicle PM plan that generates service schedule once a month and don't login for a year, when you login you will see that only last service schedule was created (not 12 service schedules).
• Deleting vehicle PM plan that is disabled (have service schedule created) deletes that service schedule.
• Deleting PM plan deletes all vehicle PM plans that use it, consequently deleting service schedules created by these vehicle PM plans.
• Changing PM plan updates values in all enabled vehicle PM plans that use it.
• Only enabled vehicle PM plans can be changed.
• Deleting service schedule that was created by a vehicle PM plan re-enables that vehicle PM plan.
• Creating new vehicle service from service schedule that was generated from vehicle PM plan deletes that service schedule and updates vehicle PM plan in accordance with values in its PM plan.
