Introduction to Maintenance
When working with maintenance orders, it is important to know these terminologies:
- Manufacturing Orders (MO): Normal production orders
- Work Orders (WO): Maintenance orders
The unique key for a work order in SWB is Order number plus Item number.
When using Maintenance together with the Planning application, the equipment number is transferred from Maintenance to the Forced Resource field in M3 SWB. The equipment number from Maintenance is used in the Planning application to identify the specific production work center resource in which maintenance is to be performed.
