View Repeat Repairs

Use the Repeat Repairs dialog box to view repeat repairs to the asset on the current work order. You can review the repeat repairs to an asset to help you determine the following information about an asset and the repair:

What Is a "Repeat Repair"?

A repeat repair is a previous work order on the same asset that has the same or a similar component code and position code as the current work order.

Your system administrator uses the Organizations (Tr) application to specify whether the component code on previous work orders must exactly match the code on the current work order. If an exact match is not necessary, the system administrator specifies how many component code characters must match for the dialog box to display the work order.

How History Work Orders are matched with the Current Work Order

History work orders are selected based on the asset identifier, the component code, and, if applicable, the position code.

These elements are matched from the current work order, tasks, planned labor, planned materials, planned services, and planned repair orders:

With these elements from history work orders, tasks, actual labor, actual materials, actual services, and actual repair orders:

component code

Your system administrator can specify that the Repeat Repairs dialog box should open when you approve a work order.
