Equipment event entry is used to record reading from equipment such as mileage, Operational hours or units produced.  Use this data to trigger PM work when the equipment needs it. 

The BOM or Bill of Materials is a list of Inventory items that can be used to repair or maintain the Equipment. Each Equipment Entry has a bill of materials page and each Inventory Detail Entry has a related equipment section. Filling either of one of these will fill the other.

The View Related button on the Equipment Entry screen allows quick access to records related to a displayed equipment record. Use it as a shortcut to perform tasks like updating BOM or looking up info such as Open Work orders or active PM Entries for the displayed equipment entry.

This is where a PM entry can be expanded to include documentation, checklists as well as planned labor and materials....

Checklists can be attached to PM Entries as well as work orders and provide functionality beyond just simply attaching a spreadsheet or document. Data entered in checklists is reportable in Analytics as well as the reporting module.
