The optional Maint Begin column allows the user to specify the day/month/year that a maintenance period begins. A maintenance period will be repeated every year on the same month and day. Serial maintenance dates specified earlier than 1980 will be ignored, unless the study begin date is prior to 1980.
NOTE: The default setting is 1/1/1980 in both columns in the Resources, Resource Modifier and New Resources tables. If the default date of 1/1/1980 or "FUEL" is specified, the value in the Fuel table will be applied.
NOTE: If you do not want to specify a maintenance period, enter 1/1/1980 in the maintenance end date and a 1/2/1980 in the maintenance begin date in the Fuel table only.
NOTE: Entries in the Maintenance Schedule Table overrides any data in the Maintenance Rate , Maint Begin or Maint End columns in the Resources, Fuel, RMT or New Resources tables.
