Question 43 - Certified Field Service Consultant discussion

Work Orders are records that track customer requests for service such as repairs or maintenance[47]. Work Order Line Items are records that track specific tasks or products related to a work order[48]. Service Appointments are records that track the date, time, duration, and assigned resource for a work order or work order line item[49]. Adding each Asset to a separate Work Order Line Item or a separate Work Order would allow handling the service associated with each container independently by creating different records for different containers. Creating a Service Appointment for each Line Item or each Work Order would allow scheduling and dispatching the service associated with each container independently by assigning different resources and time slots for different containers. Adding each Asset to a separate child Work Order would create an unnecessary hierarchy of Work Orders that could complicate reporting and scheduling. Creating a Service Appointment for the parent Work Order would not allow handling the service associated with each container independently by assigning one resource and time slot for all containers.
