Overview of Maintenance Work Management

Oracle Maintenance provides the work order feature to efficiently create and manage work orders. The work orders help you initiate and manage the maintenance and repair work for the assets.

You can create and edit the work order details, operations, materials, and resources. The work definitions and standard operations can be used to accelerate the creation of work orders. You can search for work orders that fulfill certain criteria, and review the details and progress of the work orders.

The mass actions enable you to change the priority and status of multiple work orders at the same time. You can additionally use the scheduled process to mass close the completed work orders. The scheduled process can be run on demand or scheduled to run at specific time interval. You can view and manage the work order exceptions. You can also view the costs associated with the work orders. The costing information is based on the material and resources transactions.

You can use the provided template spreadsheet to import the work orders. The import feature enables you to create and update the work orders in bulk, and import the work orders from other sources into your application. You can generate and print reports with the work order details and material requirements. These reports can be used for sharing and offline reviews.

To summarize, the maintenance work order feature enables you to perform the following tasks:

  • Manage maintenance work orders in user interface. You can search for, create, and edit the maintenance work orders.
