Setting an asset's technical end date as start date of activity
You can set the expected technical end date of an asset as the start date of an activity definition
With this setting, the start date of activity definitions of the Replacement activity type can be based on the expected technical end date of their linked asset, when compiling a maintenance plan. If you do not select the expected technical end date as start date of this type of activity definition, the expected economic end date is used to determine the start date.
 | For more information on activity types and compiling maintenance plans, refer to the Maintenance Manager part of the user documentation. |
