Fixed versus Floating Schedules in FaciliWorks 8i
When setting preventative maintenance (PM) schedules, a fixed or floating designation, along with the last maintenance date and the scheduled frequency, will determine the next date due. When you set the schedule as Floating, the software will always set the next date due based on the frequency of the setting and the last maintenance date (the date completed). For example, a 1 month floating schedule is initially set for 03/15/2017:
If the PM were completed early, on 02/27/2017, the software will set the Next Date Due to 03/27/2017, one month from the date of completion (shown here on the PM):
When you set the schedule as Fixed, it does not matter when the PM is completed, the software will always set the Next Date Due based on the frequency and the initial setting. For example, the same 1 month schedule is initially set for 03/15/2017, fixed:
With a Fixed schedule, even if the PM were completed early or late, the software would still set the Next Date Due to 04/15/2017, based on the initial schedule and frequency:
Since you cannot alter the Last Maintenance Date on the asset (this would create a date discrepancy with the last maintenance date in the asset history), you can change the Next Date Due to whatever you want. However, once the maintenance is completed on that cycle, the software will set the Next Date Due to the 15th of the next month because of the initial Fixed setting.
To permanently reset the Next Date Due, you would need to change this to a Floating schedule. For example, to change the schedule above to be calculated for the 3rd of the month instead of the 15th, change to a floating schedule on the asset record and manually set the Next Date Due to 04/03/2017. Once you complete the PM, the software would set the Next Date Due to exactly 1 month from the date of completion.
If you now want this date to be fixed, you can change it back to a fixed schedule on the asset record and that will reset the initial date; the software would then schedule one month on the 3rd regardless of when it was completed.
We encourage you to explore the additional capabilities of your FaciliWorks software and as always, keep an eye out for future Tech Tips.
