Recording calibration data in work orders

You document your calibration data results using calibration work orders.

Work order tracking in calibration
When you create a work order, you initiate the maintenance process and create a historical record of work that is being performed.
Associating data sheets to a work order
When you create a work order to calibrate an instrument, you can associate the data sheet necessary to perform the calibration process to the work order.
Checking the status of a tool
Tools that are used to calibrate an instrument must be in active status. You can view the status of a tool before it is added to a work order to ensure that it is in active status.
Entering calibration results on a work order data sheet
When you calibrate an asset, you enter the results of the As Found and As Left values on the data sheet of a work order. These values determine the calibration status of the asset.
Extending due dates of calibration PM records
You extend the date of a preventive maintenance (PM) record to override the typical next due date for generating PM work orders. You can extend the due date of a PM for a calibration asset a specified number of times.
