Action
Select how you would like to link to a work document:
•
Create a new work order: If appropriate, select a standard task, task template, standard job, or job template on which to base the new work order.
•
Add a new task to an existing work order: Select a work order on which the new task will be created. If appropriate, select a standard task or task template on which to base the new task.
•
Link to an existing work order task: Select an existing work order task to link to. The system creates the link without changing the planning information on the work order and task.
•
Create a new work request: When you click OK, the work request is created. This option is enabled if you are creating a work document from a failure record.
See Also

Create a failure
A failure record is created at the same time that the work request is linked to a new or existing work order.

Failure number
APM assigns each failure record a unique failure number. The failure number can be used to locate the failure or to launch it from the find bar.
See Also

Failure mode
Asset’s failure mode for the condition that the failure record documents.
See Also

Problem
Problem assigned to the asset for the condition that the failure record documents.
See Also

Failure type
The failure type, along with the failure classification, is used to group failure modes and records to make it easier to identify, locate, and sort them.

Description
Description of the failure.
See Also

Occurred on
Date and time at which the failure occurred.

Severity
The severity indicates the seriousness of the failure. For example:
•
Total: the asset’s performance has decreased to a point where the asset is no longer performing at its required level. The asset has completely failed.
•
Partial: the asset’s performance has decreased to a point where it is no longer performing one of its functions at the specified levels. The asset is still functioning.
•
Potential: a condition that has been noticed that would result in an actual failure if the problem is not resolved. The actual failure has not yet occurred. Potential failures are normally reported as the result of an indicator reading that has raised a warning alarm against the asset.

Remaining PF interval
The PF interval is used to indicate the remaining time until a potential or partial failure escalates to a full failure. PF interval can be tracked in terms of time or a cumulated indicator value, such as cycles or operating hours.
See Also

Locked
If the PF interval is locked, APM does not recalculate the time remaining until a full failure can be expected. The PF interval remains at its current level until it is changed manually.
