Schedule Maintenance Plans
Start: This function is normally used to start a Maintenance Plan for an object that has just been put into operation, or for which preventive service or maintenance work is required.
New start: This function is normally used for a repeated start, for example, if scheduling has been carried out with wrong parameters.
Scheduling: This function is used to call up the next Service or Maintenance Order after the last Service or Maintenance Order has been completed.
Manual call: If you want to schedule a maintenance task for a particular date, you can schedule this date manually.

When you create a single cycle plan, the cycle (the time period between the cycle start and the first planned date) is assigned first. Orders are generated based on the planned date.
Because the call date (the date when the order was created) is usually before the planned date, a certain pre-processing phase (for example, for material procurement) occurs.
The cycle start defines the date from which the calculation of the planned dates should begin.
