Review and Close an Equipment Work Order

To review and close an equipment work order, complete the following steps.

Once the steps are complete, the equipment work order's information will display on the Equipment P.M. Service History, P.M. Service History, Work Order Cost Inquiry, and Work Order Report.

  1. On the Site Map, click Preventive Maintenance > Data Entry > Equipment Work Order Entry.
  2. In the Work order field, enter the number associated with the work order you want to close or use the drop-down menu to select from a list of available work orders. The Properties tab displays.
  3. In the Mechanic field, enter the name of the person who performed the work.
    Note: The name entered in this field does not need to be associated with an employee code; therefore you can enter a non-employee's name if an outside service person performed the work.
  4. In the Meter number field, enter the equipment's meter number and then click the Meter button to enter the most current meter reading.
  5. In the Work order status field, select Finished.
    Note: Spectrum changes the work order's status to Closed when the P.M. Service Performed Register's update is run; the update cannot be run for the work order unless the Status field is set to Finished.
  6. In the Work start date and Work finish date fields, enter the work order's service dates or use the drop-down menu to select a date from the Date Change window.
  7. On the Notes tab, briefly document what work was done during the completion of the work order.
  8. Click Save.

Follow these additional steps only if you have transactions that were entered in Scheduled P.M. Entry.

  1. On the Site Map , click Preventive Maintenance > Data Entry > P.M. Service Performed Register.
  2. In the Batch code field, enter the applicable batch code.
  3. Preview the register.
  4. On the P.M. Service Performed Update screen, select Continue. This action sends the selected work order information to the service history file.
