Use work orders to assign maintenance tasks for particular dates and times.
New work orders are created from pre-entered tasks. The default values are copied from the task e.g. start time, duration, equipment, people, etc. This speeds up data entry. When a work order is created it is given a unique "Work Order #" (work order number).
When are work orders created (work order # assigned)?
FastMaint automatically schedules work orders (i.e. calculates work order dates) for most types of tasks, however you still have to create them (the work order # will be assigned when created). You can create these work orders by running the Planning Report for the work order dates (click the Plan button). Alternatively look in the work order list for work orders with an empty status (see screenshot below) and open the work order to create it using the Create/Modify Work Orders window. For tasks with a frequency of "Unplanned" or "Alarm" you have to use the Requests/ Breakdown function to schedule (& create) unplanned task work orders or enter alarm conditions which will schedule (& create) any work orders based on the alarm condition.
