New Articles​

Multi-Asset Work Orders​

You can now create a work order for multiple assets. A multi-asset work order consists of a parent work order that contains two or more sub-work orders for the maintenance of assets or other work. Maintenance teams can complete the sub-work orders individually and use the parent work order to track the overall progress of the work.

The following new articles are available:

You can assign more than one location to a part, and specify the available quantity in each location. Multi-location parts help you track inventory more precisely. You can see and use inventory from each location and the total inventory across locations.
