Equipment

Prerequisites

To use Equipment with EAM, you need to:

Have these user licenses Have these permissions Complete these tasks
and review these topics
before continuing

Introduction

The Equipment object holds records for any item considered an asset. For purposes of EAM, any item that needs maintenance should be added as a record in Equipment.

Example 1. Equipment can be:
  • Buildings

  • Vehicles

  • Machinery

  • Computer/IT equipment

  • Etc.

FX EAM also creates Equipment records for Serialized Inventory items, which link back to a Catalog Item.

Maintenance Schedules

An Equipment record can have one or more Preventative Maintenance Schedules, which can then manually or automatically generate a Work Order with one or more Work Tasks.

Maintenance Crew Members can then be assigned or pick up a Work Task to complete.

Equipment Location

  • Equipment can be assigned to a Service Region to route to the appropriate service team.

  • Separately, assign a Location to the Equipment to know where it can be found. Locations can exist in parent-child hierarchy.

Asset Group

  • Assign an Asset Group to filter Model Work Orders, Standard Work Tasks, or Bills of Material.

    Example 2. To find maintenance work and material for particular equipment

    Create an Asset Group for each model of the Equipment to find the maintenance work and material needed for the maintenance of a particular model of Equipment.

  • Asset Groups are user defined.

Equipment Accounting

  • Equipment can be assigned to an Expense Account. Maintenance costs can be directed to a specific cost center by using up to four GL Variables.

    FX EAM assists in creating maintenance cost detail for your accounting system, but it does not offer a full accounting record.

    For example, GL Detail exists to help create credits and debits for costs related to maintenance on an Equipment item, but there is no method for recording depreciation in FX EAM.
