Execute Maintenance Work Orders

The maintenance work orders help you initiate and manage the maintenance and repair work for the assets. The work order provides information regarding the asset being maintained, priority of the work, and relevant dates for the maintenance work. It also specifies the work definition details, operations, components, and resources required for the maintenance work.

There are two types of maintenance work orders:

  • Preventive maintenance work orders: A preventive maintenance work order is a type of maintenance work order that's created to initiate the planned maintenance process for an asset.

  • Corrective maintenance work orders: A corrective maintenance work order is a type of maintenance work order that's created to initiate the on-demand repair process for an asset.

You can execute a maintenance work order to report the work order operation status, and material and resource consumption.
