Add Revision Field to Maintenance Item

Question

Hi,
We are planning to add the Revision Field to the maintenance item screen so it can be used in maintenance planning.  The idea is that we create a bunch of dateless revisions that represent weeks in an annual shut.  We know roughly what orders should be exectued in what sequence for the shut, so we can assign them to say ASWK1 (annual shut week 1).  However, we don't know what week the shut is going to happen each year as it can change (hence the dateless revision buckets).
We then add that revision to the maintenance item when the order is planned, so when the orders are generated the planner can filter by the work that needs to be done in the first week of the shut and so forth.
We will also have another set of revisions with acutal dates each year, so then planner will then change the dateless revision to the one with actual dates on it once the shut dates are known.
Does anyone see any problems with this or know of another way to achieve the same result without customising the Maintenance item screen?
Cheers,
Maikel

Hi
Is this a business requirment to create the Maintenance order?
Because once the Maintenace order is generated your capacities are booked and if any component is assigned is also reserved.
What i think ,create the notification from plan and as and when required change the notification to maintenance orders when the shutdown dates are known and assign the revision .
