Set Up Problem Codes

Problem Codes are the Failure descriptions you want to use when you create Failure Registrations.

  1. On your role center, select Work Orders Setup > Failure Registrations > Problem Codes.
  2. In the Failure - Problems list, Enter a Code and a Description of the problem.
  3. Repeat step 2 to create more problem codes.

Set Up Reason Codes

Reason Codes describe the failure causes when you create Failure Registrations.

  2. In the Failure - Reasons list, Enter a Code and a Description of the reason.
  3. Repeat step 2 to create more reason codes.

In Asset Management Setup, there is setup option defining whether Failure Reasons are mandatory on a Work Order.

Set Up Action Codes

Action Codes describe how Failure Registrations are resolved.

Set Up Failure Codes on Asset Categories

Failure Codes are set up on Asset Categories. This means that if the Asset selected on a Work Order has an Asset Category that includes Failure Codes, you must use those Failure Codes to create Failure Registrations on the Work Order.

Refer to the Asset Categories article regarding how to set up Failure Codes on an Asset Category.
