APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DESCRIPTION:
  When a Preventive Maintenance record has the Seasonal Date
  option- "Schedule Early on Frequency Conflict?" checked, the
  Associated PM's cannot be updated from a Master Preventive
  Maintenance application even when the Frequency is set to more
  than 7 days.
  
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  1) Go to Preventive Maintenance; Master PM Application;
  
  (i) Create a new Master PM: Let's say: 1002; Select Item:
  FIRE-100; Item Set: SET1
  (ii) Switch to Frequency Tab; Set Frequency: 7; Frequency Unit:
  DAYS; Save
  (iii) From More Actions; Select "Create Associated PM's"; Select
  as Asset; Let's say, we select: Asset: 1004 with Site: BEDFORD;
  Click Ok
  (iv) As system message is generated as below:
  BMXAA2753I - Created PM 1025 for asset/location 1004.
  
  2) Navigate to this PM record
  (i) Go to Preventive Maintenance; Preventive Maintenance
  Application; View the record: 1025
  (ii) Observe it has, Master PM as: 1002 and Asset as: 1004
  (iii) Switch to Frequency Tab; Observe Frequency is 7 DAYS as
  expected.
  (iv) Switch to Seasonal Dates Tab; Observe there is a check box
  for "Schedule Early on Frequency Conflict?" Tick the check box
  so that it is marked as "YES"; Save.
  Note: This checkbox is editable only when the frequency is more
  than 7 Days.
  
  
  3) Navigate back to Master PM Application; MASTERPMNUM: 1002
  (i) Switch to Frequency Tab; Frequency: 1; Frequency Units:
  MONTHS; Save
  (ii) From More Actions; Select "Update Associated PMs"; Select
  the Site for which we want to update, in this case: BEDFORD;
  Click Ok
  
  
  RESULT:
  We get an error	"BMXAA7429E - The frequency is invalid because
  the Schedule Early on Frequency Conflict check box is selected
  on the Seasonal Dates tab. The minimum frequency is 7 days".
  
  
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  We should be able to update the Associated PM's and
  
  this error should not come as we are updating the PM using the
  Update associated PM option and Master PM has a frequency of 1
  Month which is greater than 7 days.
