Service Schedule

Overview

The Vehicle Service Schedule Item form is accessed by carrying out the following procedures:

• Accessing the Approval Issue Tab by selection of either the icon or utilising Issue from the Approval Menu option and completion of the required fields.
• Single-right-click within an repair item line (within the grid at the bottom of the form) to select the Create, Amend or Display menu options from the mini menu.
• Select the icon from the Authorisation form.

Vehicle Service Schedule Item Dialogue Box

The Vehicle Service Schedule Item Dialogue Box contains the following data:

• Activity Code

The Reason For Repair service item code / Schedule Item Reason.

• Scheduled Odometer

The odometer interval for when the occurrence of this schedule repair item is due.

• Usage Schedule

The date calculated from the odometer interval for when the occurrence of this schedule repair item is due. The system is continually calculating an estimated odometer usage based on the registration date and the latest odometer reading/date taken held against the vehicle. From this it can calculate a daily odometer distance travelled and therefore calculate the date on which the next odometer scheduled event is to take place.

• Calendar Schedule

The date calculated from the registration date for when the occurrence of this schedule repair item is due.

Command Buttons
