Default Schedules

Default Schedules are intended to act as placeholders, keeping Inspectors aware that they need take action when the Equipment is created. The intent is to offer a mandatory NID that is, by default, set to 12 months after the Equipment was created.

Normally (there are a few exceptions) when a new Equipment is added, IMS will automatically create a Default Schedule (status ADMIN FINAL APPROVED) that acts as a “safety net” for which the minimal time interval is normally set to 12 months. The DEFAULT Insp time interval is specified in Settings \ Maintenance \ Inspection/Schedules Settings. 

When Default Schedules are not required

There are several conditions under which Default Schedules will not be required:

• When the Inspection Reason (as set on the FLOC) does not require a Default Schedule (either Class 4 or No insp. req). The Inspection Reason is inherited by the Equipment and Circuit.

Only Equipment with “Class 4” Inspection Reasons do not have a Default Schedule.

• When there is at least one active, uncredited Schedule with Schedule Type "RBI RE-ASSESSMENT" or "INSPECTION", with a Schedule Driver other than "FABRIC MAINTENANCE" and "PROCESS TECHNOLOGIST".
• When Equipment is not available in the PEI or CIVIL module.
• When Equipment has the Equipment group set to "Bundle" and has an active, uncredited Corrosion Schedule.
• When Equipment is part of a Piping System.
