Datastream 7i offers two methods for releasing PM work orders:
Use the Release all PM work orders before specified date form (WBPEVU). This will release PM work orders with status Awaiting release that have reached the defined release window. Use this option on a regular basis to release the PM work orders that have reached their release window to add them to the work order backlog.
Use the Release selected work orders form (WNRELJ) to release a specific PM work order.
Datastream 7i also automatically generates PM work orders based on meter readings when the meter readings exceed the defined tolerances.
Refer to the following topics for information on releasing PM work orders.
