You might need to perform an Activity on multiple Maintained Numbers. To eliminate the possibility of creating multiple Work Orders for the same Activity, you can define Asset Routes. You can define a Preventive Maintenance schedule for your Asset Route to specify when an Activity should be scheduled for the Asset Route. Only day interval rules can be defined for Asset Routes.

To define Asset Routes:

1. Navigate to the Define Asset Route window.

2. Select a Maintained Group from the list of values.

3. Enter the name of the Asset Route in the Maintained Number field.

4. Optionally, associate this Asset Route to an Asset Category. This is the Class and Subclass code, such as  CRANE.OVERHEAD or BUILDING.FLOOR.

5. Within the Main tabbed region, you can optionally select an Owning Department for this Asset Route from the list of values. This represents the crew responsible for the asset. Notifications, regarding Work Requests, are sent to everyone with a responsibility assigned to the Work Request’s associated asset’s current owning department.

6. Optionally, select a Criticality code from the list of values, indicating the importance of the Asset Route to the organization. This field is for information only.

7. Optionally, select a WIP Accounting Class from the list of values. This will identify the Expense cost elements associated with the work performed, such as materials, labor, and resources.

8. Optionally, enter the Area where this Asset Route resides. This is a user defined listing of logical areas of work. For example, North Plant, East Wing, or Area 1.

9. Indicate whether this Asset Route is maintainable. If the Maintainable check box is selected, you can create Work Requests and Work Orders for this Asset Route.

10. Choose Asset Route to display the Asset Route window.
