What it is for​

A cost category sorts maintenance costs: "spares", "labour", "contractor".

Every field in plain words​

General​

FieldWhat it meansWhat to put
Cost CategoryThe code or number of this recordA short unique code, or the next number when a number range is set up. Required. Cannot be changed once saved
NameThe nameFree text. Required

How to configure it​

Add one line per value the business uses. Keep the codes short and the names in the words the staff use. The name is stored in every language the company works in; the one you type is kept for your language and copied to the others until someone translates it.

Scenarios​

  • A new value is needed during live work. Add it here; it is offered at once on the documents that use this list.

What it is connected to​

  • No delivered plant maintenance document reads a cost category in this release.

If something looks wrong​

  • The value is missing from a list on a document. It was not saved here, or Block is ticked on it where the screen has that box.
