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.

Failures by Assets Report

You can create Failures by Assets Reports to get an overview of Assets and related Failure registrations.

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

  • Selecting the Send to... button to create a specific output type, for example, XML, Microsoft Excel Document (data only), or Schedule a report creation
  • What to use the "Schedule" output type for.
  • How to delete a report schedule that is no longer required.

The created report is a mostly dataset of values from the system. You can always use it to create your own personalized reports that will be used in your company.
