PPM Suppressions

Prevent Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) from creating work orders when another PPM has already created work orders for the same assets or sites. Suppressing PPMs avoids redundant visits and the creation of duplicate work orders.

For example, if you have both a yearly and a monthly PPM work orders, you can add suppression so that when the yearly work order is scheduled, the monthly one doesn't generate for that same period. This is useful in scenarios like store remodeling, where scheduled maintenance isn't necessary during that time.

Click the PPM Suppressions tab in PPM Builder to configure suppression settings.
