Managing Duplicate Tasks

A duplicate task is defined as a task that

• Has a status that indicates that it not been completed
• Should already have been completed
• Appears in the system more than once (has the same task and asset IDs as another task in the system)

If duplicate tasks are present in a backlog, the planning and scheduling process becomes difficult to manage because time and resources will be inaccurately booked against work that does not actually need to be completed.

To manage this issue, you can use the Duplicate Work Order Tasks browse screen to search for duplicate tasks that exist in the system. If duplicate tasks are identified, they are listed and you can then delete them if necessary.

To access the Duplicate Work Order Tasks browse screen, expand the Main Menu – Maintenance Manager – Planning and Scheduling nodes and then select the Proposed Duplicate Tasks icon.
