Inspections

Inspections of assets can occur throughout an asset’s lifecycle; when the asset is received from the manufacturer, when alert is raised for failing high or low readings, routine inspections, and so on.

Inspections are performed to assess the condition of the asset. A monitor algorithm (W1CALASRTNGS: Calculate Ratings for Asset - Asset Condition and Confidence) on the base asset business object is used to calculate an asset's condition score and confidence rating whenever an inspection service history event is created or completed or when the W1-ASSET batch process is run. If an implementation does not want to use service history to acquire a condition score and confidence rating, then leave the Assessment Class value on the Asset Type blank.

Refer to Condition Assessments for more information.

Service history is used to record inspection events for the asset.
