The Generate Repair Suggestion button should now appear as a page-level button on the Preview Work Order page.

By default, repair suggestion notes are saved with a Repair Suggestion (ORA_MNT_WO_REPAIR_SUGGESTION) note type. You can change this note type to a custom note type. Do not change the default note type to any other seeded note type unless it is ORA_MNT_WO_REPAIR_SUGGESTION.

To create a custom note type:

  1. Under Setup and Maintenance, click Tasks, Search and enter Manage Extended Lookup Codes in the Search field.
