Dear All,
I am learning more about Permits and Isolation Orders but I run into a weird phenomenon that I can’t seem to explain.
I created some basic data (Permit Type, Isolation Type, Isolation Template, Allowed Connections Permit/Isolation...).
From there I created a Work Task Template and connected a Permit Type and Isolation Template ID to the work task template, selected ‘YES’ for the ‘Generate’ Column. And I activated the Work Task Template.
Next I wanted to see the effects when creating a new Work Order. So I started from ‘New Fault Report’ with a random Object and selected ‘Earliest Start’ and ‘Latest Finish’ date.
After that I used ‘Jobs and Templates’ to select my Work Task Template.
That was correctly ingrated and my permit was copied into the Work Order. I dod however notice that the ‘Valid From’ and ‘Valid To’ date of my permit did not match the ‘Earliest Start’ and ‘Latest Finish’ date. Rather, the “Valid From Date” seems to be set to the sysdate at the moment of creation and “Valid To Date” = sysdate + 7 days.
This seemed very strange to me. Why does the permit not re-use the dates already specified on the Work Order Planning Schedule?
Setting a Planned Start /Planned Finish Date afterwards did give me a warning to update the permit, but only a warning seems rather insufficient.
Any feedback on the above? Is there a setting that might help with this? Or what are the ‘best practices’ here to make sure that Permit dates are in accordance with the Work Order planning….
Best Regards
Roel Timmermans
