Is there a way when a PO is created for a part that is ordered, can that automatically be tied and charged out to the work order that the Tech has created for that unit?

QR code to data entry excludes Location field

If I scan the QR code for creating a new work request, it displays a data entry screen on my iPhone. Unfortunately, the data entry screen does not include a drop-down list for Location. Can this screen be updated to include data entry for Location?

Asset hierarchy depth

Hello all,I am new to Maintain x and I am in the process of setting my company up on the software.  Im looking to set up the system in such a way that I am able to track everything as efficiently as possible.  I want to set up PM for motors that we have here where Technicians take the amperage reading of 3 phase motors and put the readings in to the software.  I want to use meters to be able to record and track trends for each phase. Are any of you all doing this?
