Updating Assets on Work Orders in Provider Automation

Updating Assets on Work Orders in Provider Automation

Having a Single Asset Associated with a Work Order

When completing work orders via the ServiceChannel Provider mobile apptechnicians who have the ability to link work orders to assets may unintentionally associate a work order with an asset they don’t need to service. As a manager with access to the Provider Automation web app, you can remedy this oversight by removing the asset from the work order.

As an FTM internal technician, you can add and update assets on work orders via SC Provider.

As an external provider, however, you can perform these actions only if your client has turned on this preference in their settings.

As long as there is no part use associated with the asset on the work order, and the service request is in the Open, In Progress, or Completed (not confirmed and invoiced) status, you can uncouple the asset from the work order or tie the work order to another asset if required.

Contact your ServiceChannel representative to get the ability to edit assets on work orders.

Having Multiple Assets Associated with Planned Maintenance Work Orders

Planned Maintenance work orders may have multiple assets associated with each of these service requests. Working on a single work order where all the required assets are attached speeds up the work order completion time since you don't need to close multiple service requests.

Your ability to work with multiple assets on a single service request depends on your client's preferences. When the Multiple Assets feature is turned on for your client, you will be able to work on multiple assets associated with a single PM work order.
