Asset Maintenance

Imagine a Nova Industries packaging machine needs inspection every month and a belt replacement every six months. If the team depends on memory, a missed service could stop production and cost much more than the maintenance itself.

Asset Maintenance turns those recurring jobs into a planned schedule. It records what must be done, how often it should happen, and who is responsible, helping the team service equipment before it fails.

Before you begin#

Enable Maintenance Required on the Asset and create an Asset Maintenance Team.

Create a maintenance plan#

  1. Select the Asset and Maintenance Team.
  2. Add a task with its type, start date, periodicity, assignee, and description.
  3. Mark whether a certificate is required.
  4. Save the plan. EnigmaERP creates planned Asset Maintenance Logs for the schedule.

Troubleshooting#

No maintenance logs were created#

Check the start date, end date, periodicity, and assignee, then save the maintenance plan again.

The task is overdue#

Complete or cancel the correct log. Do not only change the plan because the historical occurrence still needs a result.

Frequently asked questions#

Is preventive maintenance the same as repair?#

In EnigmaERP, no. Maintenance is planned work. Asset Repair records a failure, downtime, repair cost, and possible capitalization.

Can one Asset have several tasks?#

In EnigmaERP, yes. Add separate rows for checks, calibration, cleaning, or certification.

Does maintenance affect asset value?#

Routine maintenance normally does not. A qualifying repair cost can be capitalized through the repair workflow.
