Next Main Due (Date)	Enter the date on which this maintenance type should be performed next on the work center. A date will already be displayed if Frequency (Days) and the Last Performed Date fields have been populated, and the Default Freq Type in the Maintenance Types screen is Days. The system calculates the default by adding the number of days in the Frequency (Days) field to the date in the Last Performed Date field.

A number will already be displayed if the Frequency (Units) and the Last Performed Units fields have been populated, and the Default Freq Type in the Maintenance Types screen is Units. The default is calculated by adding the Frequency (Units) and the Last Performed Units fields.
