This portal is to open public enhancement requests against the products and services belonging to IBM Sustainability Software. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

To expound on what's been said above, work orders generated from PMs that are timed based benefit from the workorder.targstartdate to know when the PM is due to be completed after work order generation. Meter based PMs do not have benefit equivalent to this from within the "meter based frequency" tab in the PM. If the "pmmeter.tolerance" is used to generate work orders early, the workorder.targstartdate is set as the workorder.reportdate rather than using an estimated date extrapolated from the inputted meter data to date leaving the user not knowing when the asset needs to be removed from service, forcing the creation and utilization of tools outside of Maximo to determine the number of cycles remaining and to derive an estimated date for the asset to be removed from service.
It should also be mentioned that if the pm.leadtime field is utilized for the purpose of ordering materials on the job plan and the pm.actmeter is not checked, the work order generated from the PM will set the workorder.targstartdate using an estimated date extrapolated from the inputted meter data to date, however the number of cycles remaining is still lost and not visible from within Maximo.
