My work on Fixed Asset Maintenance and the Asset Maintenance component
is nearly complete. I have a few remaining questions and ideas.
1. The trunk includes the new Asset Maintenance feature that
automatically assigns parties to the Fixed Asset Maintenance Work
Effort. If a party is related to the Fixed Asset in one of the
maintenance roles, then they are automatically assigned to the work
effort when a new maintenance is created. Should I move this feature to
Accounting->Fixed Assets?
2. The fixed asset maintenance status must be changed manually. I would
like to see the status updated automatically - based upon work effort
activity. When an assigned worker accepts a fixed asset maintenance work
effort, I'd like to see the maintenance status change to either
Scheduled or In Process. When all related work effort statuses are set
to Completed, I'd like to see the maintenance status set to completed.
3. The Fixed Asset has a field called dateLastServiced that must be
updated manually. I would like to see that field updated automatically
with the date that the most recent fixed asset maintenance was completed.
Let me know what you think.
