Create Failure Registrations on a Work Order
You can create Failure registrations on a Work Order.
- If the Asset selected on the Work Order has an Asset Category that includes Failure Codes, you can only select those Failure Codes.
- If the Asset has an Asset Category with no Failure Codes, you can select all combinations of Problem Codes, Reason Codes and Action Codes when you create a Failure Registration.
Refer to Work on a Work Order to learn how to work with a Work Order and complete the maintenance job.
