Reset units to go on a PM

In the current Maximo configuration, preventive maintenance (PM) work orders can be generated based on a meter based frequency (e.g., every 1500 hours).

Some of these PMs are used to change parts at these set frequencies to ensure machine uptime.

When a breakdown occurs in between the PMs and parts are replaced prematurely, we have no way of resetting the units to go on the PM to start the frequency cycle again.

This leads to changing parts prematurely again which is not ideal.

To address this issue, I propose introducing a feature that allows resetting the “Units to Go” when parts are replaced early. This flexibility would empower maintenance teams to adapt to real-world scenarios while maintaining accurate scheduling.
