How to Create a Corrective Action (one off job) for a Component

The procedure and information entered for a “corrective action” and a regular “scheduled job” is almost the same but there are some minor differences, and I will only point out the differences, in this description. Details omitted can be found in the “How to create a scheduled job?” chapter.

1. Open the component you wish to add a “corrective action” to.
2. Click the “Jobs” tab.
3. Click the  “Create corrective action” button.

Since “Corrective actions” are not based upon a “standard job”, you are not asked to specify the standard job as you do for “scheduled jobs”.

New Corrective action form 

1. Enter the relevant information.
   1. Name: Since the job is not based upon a standard job, you will need to enter a name for the job.
   2. Job Code: The system will set the job code to “ONE” and number the job.
   3. The functions behind the following fields: Man hours, SRF Template, Priority, Category, Department, Job Source, Assigned to, Class job and Work permit are exactly the same as for “Scheduled jobs” described in the chapter above.   
   4. Date Due:  Set the due date for the job. (Corrective actions do not have an interval)
   5. Hour Due:  Set the hour due for the job (To set hour due, the component the job is linked to must be configured to receive running hours.   
   6. Job Description: Enter the job description. As you can see there is no field for the “Standard job” description or the “Comment from last job”.

5. Click [Save and Close], the job has now been added to your component, once it the job is signed out it will disappear from the components job list, and only appear as a history record in the components job history.  

There are more features for a corrective action as there are for the scheduled jobs, these will be   discussed after the chapter on “How to create a service job?”
