Enablement of repair facilities
To create work orders in a site that is different from the site of the asset on the work order, enable the repair facilities feature.
Enablement of repair facilities is useful for transportation assets and other moveable assets. Moveable assets are often serviced on the road, at a repair facility that does not belong to the home site of the asset.
Enablement of the feature means that a repair facility, a special type of location, can take ownership of work orders from multiple sites that are in the same organization. User security can then be configured to give permissions to view work orders in multiple sites if the work orders are owned by the repair facility. When you enable the feature, fields that are related to repair facilities are made visible in the Work Order Tracking application and other affected applications.
The Enable Repair Facilities check box is on the Other Organization Options window in the Organizations application.
If you enable the repair facilities feature, the Bypass Site Mismatch Warning Message check box on the Other Organization Options window becomes read/write. Select the check box to prevent the display of a warning message when a work order is created in a site that is different from the site of the asset on the work order.
