This utility can be used to update the maintenance schedule information as repairs on products are completed, instead of completing the Work Order process.
This program does NOT generate any postings, and restricts operator access to only the relevant data fields that apply to update an existing service schedule record.
Only the last service date, days, or meter units, can be modified on the service schedule according to the Maintenance Type defined by each product service record.
