Linked Maintenance Job Type

Linked Maintenance Job Type Setup

You have the possibility to add linked maintenance job type setup to a maintenance job type default. This means that when a work order is created which uses the maintenance job type default, any linked jobs are automatically created.

To enable this functionality, go to System administration > Setup > License configuration.

Add a Linked Maintenance Job Type Setup

1. Go to Asset management > Setup > Jobs > Maintenance job type defaults.
2. Go to Linked maintenance job types and click 'New' to start adding linked maintenance job types.
3. On 'Linked maintenance job types' form it is possible to specify the maintenance job type, trade, and variant of the line to be automatically created. See example of linked maintenance job types in the screenshot below.
4. Click 'Save' when you have finished setting up the Linked maintenance job types. The linked jobs are created in line number order, ascending.

Work order lines created for linked maintenance jobs are created for the same asset as the original work order line that triggered their creation.

The type of asset which the linked maintenance job is created for is also considered along with the job type association. This means that when a maintenance job type, for instance 'Inspection', is selected for a specific asset type, then this work order line will be created. If you have not selected a maintenance job type, for instance 'Calibration' in the screenshot below, on the specific asset type, you will be informed that the maintenance job type is lacking setup.

Note: automatically created work order lines do not trigger automatic linked job creation.

Example: Inspection is chosen as a linked maintenance job type while Calibration among others is not selected, meaning it is not linked.
