This dialog enables you to issue a new repair form, available from the Maintenance Module.
A repair form is the actual repair or work that has been approved by the maintenance supervisor or foreman. It indicates the repair date and describes the nature of the problem as well as the work group that is assigned to carry out the job. A repair form also includes, in a different section, the information that is filled in by the person who performed the work, the cause of the malfunction, and action taken, as well as the down and repair time.
