Managing work orders
A work order specifies a particular task and the labor, materials, services, and tools
that are essential to complete the task. You can also associate configuration-managed (CM) items with work orders and create work orders
that are a result of the cannibalization process.
Job plans
A job plan is a detailed description of work that is done for a work order. You use the Job Plans (CM) application to specify and manage maintenance review board (MRB) numbers, capabilities, classes, and categories for job plans.
Creating work orders
You can create work orders to specify the essential work for a particular asset and location.
Installing and removing assets
When you complete the work essential in a work order, you must remove and install the asset that is specified in the work orders.
Deferrals
When you are unable to complete a work order, you can defer the work order. For example, if you did not have the essential materials for the work order, you can defer the work order and set a status for it.
Recording meter readings
When you record meter readings for configuration-managed assets , you can record the actual or delta values.
