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.
Follow this procedure to make Failure Registrations on a Work Order:
- On the Work Order, select Related > Failure Codes.
- In the Work Order Failures list, select a Problem Code.
- Select a Reason Code to describe the cause of the failure.
- Select an Action Code to explain how the problem was solved.
- Repeat steps 2-4 if you want to create more Failure Registrations.
- Close the Work Order Failures list to return to the Work Order.
