      <Paragraph>Maintenance prediction is a forecast and activities that must
		run during the maintenance cycle, along with the relative moments. When
		prediction is carried out for a anonymous item, the entire service BOM for that
		anonymous item is taken into account. Activities are predicted for all
		underlying anonymous items.</Paragraph>
      <List>
         <ListIntro>You can create a maintenance prediction in the following ways:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Manually in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/spc/tsspc1125m000" role="session">Maintenance Concept - Predicted Activities (tsspc1125m000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Automatically in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/spc/tsspc1225m000" role="session">Generate Prediction (tsspc1225m000)</GUIRef> session. The prediction is made for one year. The
		  results can appear in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/spc/tsspc1125m000" role="session">Maintenance Concept - Predicted Activities (tsspc1125m000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>

            <Step>
               <StepTitle>Define item data</StepTitle>
               <Paragraph>Use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/mdm/tsmdm2100m000" role="session">Items - Service (tsmdm2100m000)</GUIRef> session to define default service values for items.
				You must define information such as measurements, life cycle, and maintenance
				cycle.</Paragraph>
            </Step>
            <Step>
               <StepTitle>Define bill of material</StepTitle>
               <Paragraph>Define the bill of material in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/cfg/tscfg1110m000" role="session">Item Breakdowns (tscfg1110m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
            </Step>
            <Step>
               <StepTitle>Reference Activities</StepTitle>
               <Paragraph>You must define the reference activity, which is the basic
				element of a maintenance concept, in the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Reference Activities (tsacm1101m000)</GUIRef> session. You can use these reference activities to
				create a maintenance concept, a maintenance prediction, or a maintenance
				planning.</Paragraph>
               <Paragraph>The reference activity always contains a service type.
				This service type has an important role when a maintenance plan must be
				defined. For more details about service types, refer to the Master Data
				Management (MDM) module procedure.</Paragraph>
            </Step>
            <Step>
               <StepTitle>Inspection Templates</StepTitle>
               <Paragraph>If a measurement type is linked to a reference activity,
				the measurement type is called a measurement inspection. This measurement
				inspection must be performed as a part of the reference activity. When you
				perform the measurement and norm values are exceeded, you must perform one or
				more activities. Therefore, the follow-up activity must be available to be
				inserted in the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Reference Activities - Measurement Types (tsacm3160m000)</GUIRef> session. A measurement is the value of a specific
				variable (measuring quantity) of an object in a specific situation.</Paragraph>
            </Step>
            <Step>
               <StepTitle>Maintenance Concepts - Item</StepTitle>
               <Paragraph>A maintenance concept is a list of activities to be
				carried out on a anonymous item as a part of maintenance policy. The frequency
				at which, the activity must be carried out is also specified. You can specify
				various maintenance concepts for the same anonymous item. To enable this, you
				can use the entity usage class.</Paragraph>
               <Paragraph>Use <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Maintenance Concepts - Item (tsspc1120m000)</GUIRef> session to list the reference activities that
				constitute an item's maintenance concept.</Paragraph>

               <Paragraph>On the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/cfg/tscfg1110m000" role="session">Specific</GUIRef> menu in the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Maintenance Concepts - Item (tsspc1120m000)</GUIRef> session, click <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/cfg/tscfg1110m000" role="session">Generate Predictions</GUIRef> to start the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Generate Prediction (tsspc1225m000)</GUIRef> session, which enables you to generate a list of
				predicted activities for the item, based on the item's reference activities
				listed in this session. You can click <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Resource Requirements</GUIRef> to
				start the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Reference Activity - Resource Requirements (tsacm2120m000)</GUIRef> session, which you can use to view the list of
				resource requirement for the particular reference activity.</Paragraph>

               <Paragraph>Use the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Maintenance Concept - Predicted Activities (tsspc1125m000)</GUIRef> session to view the list of activities predicted for
				the preventive maintenance of an item. The item's predicted activities are
				either generated in the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Generate Maintenance Plan (tsspc2200m000)</GUIRef> session, based on the reference activities listed in
				the item's maintenance concept, or are entered manually in this session.</Paragraph>
