Purpose
Complete the Equipment Management Module Setup action for EM Shops so decide/load/accept is clear before live EM. Form field detail stays on the Vista article.
Prerequisites
- Know which physical shops (or mobile shops) will own work orders.
- If parts are tracked in Inventory, have the IN company and location ready.
- If shop-based work-order numbering is desired, enable it in EM Company Parameters first.
Vista configuration article
See the detailed Vista guide:
Field meanings and form steps live there. Do not restate them on this page.
Implementation guidance
- What they are: shops are another identifier that can be assigned to equipment. They're mainly used when the client has internal mechanics doing maintenance, and they flow into the work order setup.
- Implementation priority: not that important for implementation. Set them up if the client has shops.
- Decide / load / accept: if the client has internal shops, key them and accept with the owner. Otherwise mark this action N/A.
Done when
- In-scope setup for this action is loaded (or explicitly N/A / hidden when optional and out of scope).
- Owner accepts the decide/load result for go-live.
- Linked Vista configuration matches what was accepted.
