Every maintenance order applies to one workstation.
Maintenance order numbers must be unique.
Preventive orders require an active maintenance plan assigned to the workstation.
Corrective and Inspection orders do not use preventive plans.
Breakdown orders must be created through Report Breakdown.
Only Preventive completion can reset a preventive service baseline.
Completing one preventive plan does not reset another plan on the same workstation.
Requested preventive orders may be generated when the plan reaches its warning percentage.
Fabritec must not create duplicate active preventive orders for the same plan and workstation.
Scheduled Start and Scheduled End are required before planned maintenance is treated as scheduled.
Scheduling does not mean the work has started.
Actual Start and Actual End must reflect real execution.
Actual End cannot be earlier than Actual Start.
Actual completion cannot be in the future.
Required checklist items must be completed before order completion.
Planned parts must have a final outcome before order completion.
Breakdown completion requires a Failure Cause.
Full Stop maintenance removes only the affected workstation from capacity.
Reduced Output maintenance reduces capacity without fully stopping the workstation.
No Stop maintenance does not remove capacity.
Maintenance downtime is not recorded as an operator coverage gap.
Completed and Cancelled orders are terminal.
Invalid lifecycle transitions are rejected.
Parts are descriptive and do not automatically affect inventory or procurement.
Maintenance history should be preserved instead of deleting completed records.
Workstations must be tested before maintenance orders are completed.
Create one order for one clearly defined maintenance requirement.
Select the correct workstation before saving.
Use Preventive only for work connected to an active maintenance plan.
Use Corrective for known repair requirements.
Use Inspection when verification is the primary purpose.
Use Report Breakdown for unplanned workstation failures.
Assign realistic priorities based on urgency and production effect.
Do not use Critical for routine work.
Select the production impact carefully.
Enter a realistic capacity-reduction percentage for Reduced Output work.
Include diagnosis, repair, testing, and restart time in Estimated Downtime.
Write specific maintenance descriptions.
Assign every active order to a responsible user.
Schedule Full Stop maintenance around production commitments.

Use On Hold when maintenance cannot continue.
Explain the reason for every On Hold order.
Keep checklist steps clear and individually verifiable.
Record actual part outcomes before completion.
Use attachments for inspection evidence and service reports.
