Items are available in the Maintenance tab when the Track Maintenance attribute is selected in the item's inventory page. The tab includes tracked items at all locations and sub locations to which you have access. Often, assets are tracked individually via inventory batches. Each batch appears as a separate maintenance record.
You can access four views from this tab:
- Scheduled inventory
- Nonscheduled inventory
- Items that are out for service
- Maintenance history
Use the Search field at the top of the table to locate an item. In addition, you can generate a report from each of these views.
Scheduled Inventory
When you first open the Maintenance tab, the default view is Scheduled Inventory showing all items for which a maintenance schedule has been set up.
By default, the list sorts by the Next Maintenance date. You can change how the list is sorted by clicking any column header. To sort by multiple columns at once, hold down the CTRL key and then click the column headers.
You can easily work on more than one record at a time. Click multiple rows and then click the Maintenance button.
Nonscheduled Inventory
The Nonscheduled Inventory view shows all items for which the Track Maintenance attribute is set but no maintenance schedule exists.
You may never set up a schedule for some items because they do not require regular maintenance. These items are always available in this list.
Out for Service Items
The Out for Service Items view shows you items that have been sent for service or repair and have not yet been returned to your facility or region.
The last column indicates when your facility expected the repaired item to be returned. At a glance, you see the items that are overdue and that you may need to follow up on.
History
Every saved maintenance action, including recording and scheduling, is tracked in Inventory Management and available in the History view.
Use the Search field to locate an item. You can also use the date range (Start Date and End Date) fields to narrow the list of maintenance activities.
