When an asset experiences a failure that compromises the operation of other equipment, it is possible to associate those assets with the same out-of-service event.
The following explains how to associate related assets when recording a failure.
1. Create an Unplanned Task
- Go to the Tasks > Work Orders module.
- Click Create Unplanned Task.
- Select the main asset affected by the failure.
- Complete the required task information (task type, execution date, description, etc.).
2. Record the Out-of-Service Event
- Within the unplanned task form, enable the Record Out-of-Service Event option.
When this option is enabled, the form for recording the unavailability event will appear.
- Within the same form, the Link Affected Assets option will appear.
- When enabled, a list of the equipment available to link to the same out-of-service event will be displayed.
Select the additional assets that are also affected by the event. You can select one or more, depending on the scope of the failure.
Make sure that the out-of-service asset relationship was created correctly, and then click "Next."
3. Complete the Registration
- Complete the remaining information for the unplanned task (tasks, subtasks, and resources).
- Save the unplanned task.
The system will automatically record the out-of-service event for all selected assets.
