Working with quick reporting

When you create a work order, you initiate the maintenance process and create a historical record of the work being performed.

Creating work orders for quick reporting
You can use the Quick Reporting application to create a work order for a location, for an asset, or for a General Ledger account.
Applying routes to work orders
You can apply a route to a work order to define a list of related work assets. For example, you can define assets, locations, or a combination of both; each of which is considered to be a stop along the route. The work assets can be related by location, such as all pumps and motors in a room. Or they can be related by the type of asset, such as all fire extinguishers at a site.
Reporting actuals for work orders
As work progresses on an approved work order, you can report the actual labor hours, materials, services, and tools used.
Specifying meter readings on work orders
You can enter meter readings for the asset and the location on a work order. An asset can be set up to inherit the meter readings of its parent asset or its location.
Reporting downtime for assets
You can report the start time and the end time of the downtime for an asset after it has occurred.
Swapping assets
You can swap assets associated with a work order. The swap action applies to the work order and all of the assets, locations, and configuration items on its child work orders. The term "work order" can refer to a work order, change, release, or activity record.
Assigning a parent to a work order
You can assign a parent to a work order and assign tasks to that parent. When you assign work order records to a parent, they become child work orders records of the parent record.
Changing the status of a list of records
You can change the status of multiple records in applications.
