How To Fix IP449 - Scheduling will occur with a start offset

IP449 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: IP - Messages for preventive maintenance

• Message number: 449

• Message text: Scheduling will occur with a start offset

What causes this issue?

You have tried to schedule the
<GL:preventive_maintenance_plan>maintenance plan</> for the first time.
Since a <GL:start_offset>start offset</> has been assigned to a
maintenance cycle, the offset is used for calculating the first planned
date.

System Response

The planned dates of the <GL:maintenance_cycle>maintenance cycles</>
<ZH>without</> a start offset will be calculated depending on the
operation type as follows:

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

OR operation:,,Planned date: 12.31.9999
AND operation:,,Planned date: 01.01.0001
This ensures that only the maintenance cycles for which an offset has
been entered are taken into account.
&HINWEIS&
If other maintenance cycles are also to be taken into account during
initial scheduling, you must enter the normal the cycle as an offset.
This applies in particular when the resulting offset is no different to
the normal cycle.
