Route Based PM Generated Work Orders Should Show History without Requiring a Location

The solution should be such that when a route is placed on a PM, the route stop WOs should show up in the PM History listing that shows previously generated workorders. In WOTRACK, filtering on the pmnum will show these WOs, and it is reasonable to expect that the PM application -- since it allows routes to be specified -- would show those WOs as linked.


IBM agreed that this was a missed use case for PMs. Routes are fully supported features throughout the IBM Maximo product, so consideration for route stop WOs in the PM history should have been considered and implemented. However, this is deemed an enhancement at this time. Therefore, we are requesting that IBM implement this and deliver a solution to us, to close the gap.
