Maintenance requests

Maintenance requests are notes or declarations that are created to notify a manager or planner that an asset might require a maintenance or repair job, but without creating a work order. If the contents of a maintenance request are considered valid, a work order can then be created based on the maintenance request.

Maintenance requests can be created for any asset in Asset Management. Various types of maintenance requests can be created, depending on how your company uses maintenance requests. Here are some examples:

• Maintenance requests
• Notes
• Corrections or enhancements
• Investments
• Depot repair (This type is used when you receive assets from another location so that you can do a maintenance or repair job, and you then return the asset after the job is completed.)

View maintenance requests

To view maintenance requests, select Asset management > Maintenance requests > All maintenance requests, Active maintenance requests, or My functional location maintenance requests. Each list page shows some of the information that is related to a maintenance request.

Note

Use the My functional location maintenance requests list page to view a list of maintenance requests that contain either functional locations that you're related to as a worker or assets that are installed on functional locations that you're related to as a worker. (For information about how to set up functional locations on maintenance workers, see Maintenance workers and worker groups.)

Although customer account information is available in Asset Service Management (external maintenance), it isn't available in Asset Management (internal maintenance).

To open the details view of a record, on the All maintenance requests list page, in the grid view, select a link in the Maintenance request column.

The buttons on the Action Pane are organized on tabs. The following table briefly describes the buttons that are related to Asset Management.
