How To Fix IP157 - Package &1 is no longer used in item &3 of plan &2

IP157 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: IP - Messages for preventive maintenance

• Message number: 157

• Message text: Package &1 is no longer used in item &3 of plan &2

What causes this issue?

The dates of the <DS:GLOS.3528F484E8E6556EE10000009B38F983>maintenance
plan</> &V2& that already exist in the costing period are used 1:1 for
the costing. For this, the system has established that the
<DS:GLOS.3526C32AAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>maintenance package</> &V1&
is no longer valid for the corresponding planned date.

System Response

The system simulates an order for the corresponding planned date
without taking package &V1& into account and integrates operations of
the <DS:GLOS.3526C2E2AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>task list</>
corresponding to further packages in the order.
The planned date is not rescheduled.
Apart from package &V1&, if no further package is due on the planned
date, then the date is not taken into account and no order is
simulated.

How to fix this error?

If the maintenance package &V1& is only due for future dates, then an
update of the dates helps.
For dates that were already called up, the only option is to choose the
start date of the costing period in accordance with this.

Procedure for System Administrators
