To Replace Components in Target Equipment

You can reflect that components were replaced as part of a service order by adding components on one of the following forms:

  • Service Orders (FS300100): You add the components directly to the service order.
  • Appointments (FS300200): You add the components to the appointment, and the components are automatically added to the service order.

You can also register the replacement of the component on the Equipment (FS205000) form.
