Utilizing Multiple Counter Plans allows for triggering maintenance schedules based on different criteria, such as time or distance traveled. This can include setting up cycle sets, like intervals of months or kilometers, to generate maintenance orders accordingly. Despite limitations on entering multiple time-based cycles or reusing counters within the same plan, there may be ways to assign cycles to specific maintenance tasks.

It seems that I forgot to save the "Configure Special Functions for Maintenance Planning" settings last week, but now that it's been saved, the desired features are now available. Thank you.
What types of equipment and maintenance are necessary for implementing this multi-counter strategy?
Have you already determined the measurement point for your equipment or functional location?
Hey Josh, we have certain vehicles that are not used often, making the mileage counter unreliable for maintenance triggers. Our vehicle maintenance team suggests creating work orders at specific intervals like 5,000 miles/6 months and 15,000 miles/1 year to ensure timely upkeep. Panuphan, we have set measurement points for equipment. I have been testing out different maintenance schedules. Thank you.
Before implementing the multiple counter plan, it is advisable to undergo IT and UAT setup conducted by an expert user. This preparation step is crucial to ensure the plan is seamlessly integrated and functions effectively.
Absolutely agree with you on the versatility of Multiple Counter Plans. I work in fleet management, and it has been instrumental in our maintenance schedules, toggling between time and distance, given the variance in our vehicle usage. The challenge though, does lie in the inability to reuse counters or enter multiple time-based cycles. It often needs a workaround, and it would be a gamechanger if SAP could address these issues directly in future updates. Nevertheless, they're indispensable for our operations, and it's always a learning curve working with them.
Absolutely, I've encountered challenges when dealing with multiple counter plans, particularly when it comes to establishing time-based cycles. There's always a balancing act between ensuring items receive necessary maintenance and avoiding unnecessary checks that can disrupt workflow and waste resources. Also, creating distinct cycles for individual tasks can be tricky. I've found, though, that a well-thought-out plan greatly increases efficiency in the long run and definitely makes it worth the upfront effort. Will definitely check the resource you've shared!
