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:

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

Refer to the article Consumption Report on Work Orders for descriptions about how to work with standard report setup, such as

• selecting the Send to... button to create a specific output type, for example, PDF or Excel

• how to delete a report schedule that is no longer required
• a test case describing how to set up a report schedule

The screenshots below show the setup of a report and the Excel file generated from that setup. In the example, the report includes Assets No. 000001 to 000015.
