Core TSIs : Planned Maintenance : Generating maintenance orders : Viewing maintenance costs in order lines
Viewing maintenance costs in order lines
For each generated maintenance order, order lines are automatically created and populated in Work Orders . They are based on the expected costs linked to the activity definition. One order line is created for each item in the list of expected costs linked to an activity definition.
* 
If the maintenance activities of an activity definition are clustered, one order line is created per expected costs item of the activity definition. Example: you have created an activity definition with two expected costs items and a daily schedule. The activities in this activity definition are clustered per week. After the order generation, seven activities are clustered per maintenance order, and each maintenance order has 14 order lines.
Go to Work Orders > Orders. Select the maintenance order whose order lines you want to view. Then go to Order details > Order lines.
Each order line of a maintenance order displays the type of the expected costs it is based upon in the Expected costs from activity definition field.
For detailed information on how expected costs are used to calculate the order line costs, see Expected costs fields.
The following tables specify how various types of expected costs of a maintenance activity definition are inherited by order line fields in Work Orders :
