hi

follow up buffer is used in while creating the strategy .i think it is not possible to specify in maintenance plan

from help

it is basically used to specifies how long after the maintenance package is due the processing of the activities can be finished, without the subsequent due dates being changed.

You specify a follow-up buffer of 5 days for each maintenance package in the strategy.

The planned date calculated by the system is September 30. The end date proposed in the maintenance order is therefore October 5.

Dear,

In IP11 there is no such field naming follow up buffer. There is field called initial and subsequent buffer. This I know.

Can you detail it if available in IP11

HI

it depends on teh how many days you give in the field

The follow-up buffer specifies how long after the maintenance package is due the processing of the activities can be finished, without the subsequent due dates being changed.

You specify a follow-up buffer of 10 days for each maintenance package in the strategy.

The planned date calculated by the system is MARCH 30. The end date proposed in the maintenance order is therefore April10.
