Orders (CS-SE/PM-WOC-MO)

Purpose

Orders form an important part of the detailed planning of tasks and their accompanying documentation in Plant Maintenance or Customer Service.

A technician on site must execute tasks at a technical object. For this, materials, utilities and staff must be planned and costs estimated. The order supports you with these tasks, since it primarily contains data for planning and executing tasks, which must be performed at the technical object in question.

Implementation Considerations

You can also supplement them with notifications. However, it is not necessary to use notifications in order to use orders.
