There are two types of schedules when managing repeat tasks by weeks. Their differences are demonstrated by examples below.
- A. "Weekly" schedule. It allows one to schedule a task to happen every week on one or more week days.
- A next due date is calculated from the next day after the starting date, and find the next due day by moving one day at a time forward.
- For instance, a PM has a weekly schedule every Monday (screenshot A below) and is floating. By floating, the next due time of a PM is calculated when a work order is completed.
- A PM work order is generated from the PM with "Need by" of 4/25/22 in the work order on 4/18/22.
- The PM work order is completed on 4/24/22.
- The next due day is 4/25/22 - the first Monday from 4/24/22.
- If the same PM is fixed (i.e., the release type of its PM Plan is fixed, not floating), the next due date is 5/2/22.
- A PM work order is generated from the PM with "Need by" of 4/25/22 in the work order on 4/18/22.
- The next due date of the PM is changed to 5/2/22 for fixed PMs.
- The PM work order is completed on 4/24/22.
- The next due day is 5/2/22 regardless when the PM is completed.
- B. "Weeks" schedule (screenshot B). It allows one to schedule a task to happen every N weeks where N >= 1.
- A next due date is calculated 7 or N*7 days from the starting date.
- For instance, a PM has a "Weeks" schedule of every one week on Monday (screenshot B below) and is floating. By floating, the next due time of a PM is calculated when a work order is completed.
- A PM work order is generated from the PM with "Need by" of 4/25/22 in the work order on 4/18/22.
- The PM work order is completed on 4/24/22.
- The next due day is 5/1/22 for floating PM. For PMs of fixed release, the next due date is 5/2/22 (Monday).
- If the same PM is fixed (i.e., the release type of its PM Plan is fixed, not floating), the next due date is 5/2/22.
- A PM work order is generated from the PM with "Need by" of 4/25/22 in the work order on 4/18/22.
- The next due date of the PM is changed to 5/2/22 for fixed PMs.
- The PM work order is completed on 4/24/22.
- The next due day is 5/2/22 regardless when the PM is completed.
