You can maintain a business object by creating a default maintenance plan. There are three types of maintenance plans:
Time-based - Perform recurring maintenance such as a monthly or yearly inspection.
Consumption-based - Perform maintenance based on usage, such as every 10,000 miles or 5,000 hours. Update this via a meter reading.
Time and consumption-based - Combine both time and usage criteria for maintenance planning.
You can also create a recall for one-time large-scale maintenance. However, it is recommended to use the recall menu item for this. See the ‘Manage recall’ flow.
Default maintenance plans act as templates. When you create a new business object, it inherits the linked default maintenance plan setup.
These default plans are linked to the product level. When a product becomes a business object, the default plan is copied to the business object record.
You can also manually create a maintenance plan on a business object. This has the same setup but does not include the ‘Recall’ option.
