Steps
Identify which PM scheduling mode applies: calendar-based (daily/weekly/monthly/yearly), usage/meter-based (number of units), or threshold-based (sensor value above/below/between).
For meter- or threshold-based PMs, feed asset meter readings into the platform via its meter-reading endpoint so the PM engine can evaluate the trigger condition.
Create or update the PM-type Task/WorkOrder record via the CMMS's standard work-order API rather than assuming a separate dedicated 'PM' endpoint exists.
For 'time or usage, whichever comes first' schedules, keep both a calendar-based and a usage-based schedule active and let the platform reset whichever completes first (Limble's documented approach).
Poll or subscribe to task-completion webhooks to detect when a generated PM task closes, so you can log completion back to your own maintenance records.
Known gotchas
PM recurrence rules are often only configurable through the vendor's UI, not a documented API field — confirm the specific field exists in that vendor's current API version before assuming you can set it programmatically.
Multiple missed occurrences on unit/threshold-based PMs can generate all missed instances at once when a new reading is logged (confirmed behavior in Limble) — dedupe before creating duplicate work orders downstream.
Meter-based and threshold-based PM options only generate if the asset already has meter-based custom fields configured — a PM won't trigger on usage if the asset has no meter attached.
