Prev. maint. can one plan be setup for time and meter based?

Hello,

I was asked an interesting question. Engineering would like to have a maintenance plan for the equipment to be setup as : Perform the maintenance every 6 months OR every 50000 cycles. Which ever comes up first.

Documentation indicates :
Each plan you create represents a preventative maintenance procedure that needs to be completed on the item; for example, oil changes, filter replacements, belt changes, and so on. You can designate the preventative maintenance plan as time- or meter-based. I noticed I was able to enter both setups.
I added 6 months and 50000 for the meters.

  1. Can this be setup within the same plan? if I setup the date section and the meter section
    if so, does the date will change to the next 6 months after the maintenance is done, if it was trigered via meters? And vice-versa meters will be added 50000 if it was trigered by time?

The goal here is if the meter generated the maintenance within a month of the time limit of 6 months, I would not want to generate a new job trigered by the 6 months setup!

Anyone using it this way?

Necroposting - I feel ok with this because no one every replied or reacted.

Pierre, if you found the answer, would you share it please? If anyone else knows if time or meter, whichever comes first, works? I have a similar request.
Thanks!
