Create a maintenance plan that uses both time-based and consumption-based triggers. Use the setting Both time and consumption-based to align both cycles under one plan. Either trigger can initiate the same maintenance work order, and both intervals are updated together.

Example scenarios:

• Consumption-based: 200 hours, Time-based: 14 days. If 210 hours are registered, a work order is created. After completion, both intervals are updated.
• If 14 days pass and trigger a new work order, both intervals are updated after completion.
• If due at 210 hours, only the consumption interval is updated. The time interval stays unchanged.
• If due at 14 days, only the time interval is updated. After completion, the consumption interval is updated.

In the consumption-based section of the plan, you can set:

• Recurrence: Define the meter value that triggers a work order.
• Unit: Choose the unit of measure, such as hours.
• Expect every: Prevent work order creation at specified meter intervals, such as every 20,000 units.

In the time-based section, define a time recurrence pattern, such as every two months. Set the reset strategy to recalculate the next maintenance date.

You can configure how the next interval is calculated:

• When due: The next maintenance date is based on the recurrence pattern, regardless of when it is actually completed.
• On completion: The next date is calculated only after the work order is completed. Use this if maintenance can be delayed and future cycles should shift accordingly.
