  Process Improvement
  
  

  Description: 
  

  Currently maintenance asset records are not created in M&U when receiving assets into warehouse. Equipment that isn’t on a property book could have the need to have an M&U maintenance record. In other words, the PA module doesn’t house all classes of supply and warehouse needs the ability to create maintenance records in M&U without using PA. In addition, the maintenance scheduling feature in MU is more robust than inspections in WH, and cannot be used without a Maintenance Asset record.
  
  

  Recommended: 

  At the stock Item level within warehouse, add a check box to the stock items tab that will require a maintenance record be generated upon receiving. (Adding here will prevent it from being an LP requirement). When the asset is accepted within the receiving process, generate maintenance asset record. There also needs to be a process in place when the maintenance record exists to inactivate the record once the asset is disposed, transferred or MRO’d. A future consideration should be that when a record is transferred/MOR’d that a copy of the maintenance record should be transferred with the item.
  
  

  Mission Critical: 
  

  Align warehouse with ability that PA currently has. Starts bringing together modules to work toward an end goal of a complete system in one program.  
  
  

  Benefits: 
  Improves warehousing capabilities while reducing customer requirements.
