Parts entered in a preventive maintenance order do not affect inventory, when a preventive maintenance order is converted to a service workorder, the quantity of parts in a PM are not entered in the Quantity column within the Parts subgrid in a service workorder.
Parts via a PM are entered in a column within the parts subgrid Quantity Required in a service workorder only as a reminder of the amount that should be used as per the preventive maintenance.
AyaNova can not pre-enter this quantity in a service workorder as user intervention may be required because:
| • | a part may or may not have a serial number |
| • | the quantity may or may not be in stock |
In the screenshot above, this service workorder was created by a preventive maintenance. The Quantity Required is indicated in the Parts sub-screen, but the Quantity has not yet been entered by the user.
