Standard Service Codes

A list of maintenance-definable codes. This definition will be accompanied by a list of maintenance steps.

In edit mode, the details of the Standard Service Card are available, where we can preset lines of operations, fees and material used in the form of a template. The scope of details can be decided, for example, during system parameterization.

In the setup, we prepare mainly lines that are added to the resulting maintenance service order and can include Resources, Item, Cost, Account, and Resource Group. The latter type allows the selection of the relevant technician only in connection with a specific order.

Meter

The list contains available variants of Meters. The code, description and unit can be assigned without restrictions.
