When a piece of equipment is associated with a floating activity schedule, Grand Avenue immediately generates an incomplete activity record for that activity on the selected piece of equipment. The following are examples of situations where an initial incomplete activity record is generated:

When the system creates this initial activity record for the floating schedule, it starts with a default Activity Due Date in the future, even though you may be using this record to document a previously completed activity. |
Example
A new piece of equipment with ID 127 is added to the Pin Gauge equipment profile, which has one Pin Gauge Calibration activity as shown below. The equipment is assigned to the Annual Pin Gauge Calibration floating schedule, which has a frequency of 365 days with 45 days to complete the activity.
...
This action automatically generates an incomplete activity record like the one shown in this example. Grand Avenue does not yet have enough information to set the next due date for this activity, so the default Activity Due Date is the current day plus the number of days to complete the activity (e.g.
...
07-
...
JUL-
...
2023 + 45 days =
...
21-
...
AUG-
...
2023).
...
The pin gauge manufacturer supplied a certificate saying that the equipment was calibrated prior to shipment on 22-Feb-
...
2023, so the Next Date Due should be 22-Feb-
...
2024. The starting point of the floating schedule is established by clicking Perform on the task and signing off the incomplete activity record using the manufacturer’s calibration dateas the Date Activity Completed.
...
Now the Next Due Date is 22-Feb-
...
2024 as expected.
