Entering an Equipment Message

You can use message logs to enter short text messages that pertain to a piece of equipment. You can also set up tickler dates or units on which you want to receive a reminder message for the equipment.

You can classify messages by setting up message types, such as planned and actual maintenance, and problem reports. Use the information that you enter to:

• Track problems and complaints about specific equipment.

• Supplement scheduled or preventive maintenance.

• Report on actual maintenance.

You set up and maintain message types in UDC table 12/EM.
