Hello,
I want to set up some Serial Objects in our Equipment Hierarchy which may be operated, removed, repaired, and re-installed under different Functional Objects. A simple example is a Diesel Particulate filter, which we remove from the machine for cleaning every 1000 hours, place in the warehouse, then re-install on another machine at some later time. The DP filter is scrapped once it has reached 12,500 hours, so it is important we are able to track the operating hours no matter where the filter has been installed.
Is there a way that the Serial Object can accumulate the engine hours recorded on the parent Functional Object for the duration which it is installed on this Object? I have not been able to find a way to do this without a great amount of tedium.
Hopefully this makes sense, and any help is appreciated!
Thanks
