How to: Set Up Repair Statuses

You use the Repair Status Setup window to set up repair status options that identify the progress of repair and maintenance of service items in service orders. You are required to set up at least nine repair status options that identify situations or actions taken when servicing service items.

To set up a repair status

  1. In the Search box, enter Repair Status, and then choose the related link.

  2. Create a new repair status. On the Home tab, in the New group, choose New.

  3. Fill in the Code and Description fields.

  4. In the Service Order Status field, select to which one of the four service order status options you want to link the repair status to. Status options are Pending, In Process, Finished or On Hold. The Priority field is filled in with the priority of the service order status you have selected.

  5. Select only one of the following repair status options: Initial, In Process, Finished, Partly Serviced, Referred, Spare Part Ordered, Spare Part Received, Waiting for Customer, or Quote Finished. A repair status cannot be linked more than one repair status options.

  6. Select the Posting Allowed field if you want to be able to post service orders, including service items, with this repair status.
