Does it schedule preventive maintenance?

Yes. Work orders are generated in bulk for assets falling due within a lead window.

What if a part is not in stock?

A draft purchase order can be raised directly from the work order.

Does the next service date update itself?

Yes. Closing a work order recomputes it from the interval held on the asset.

Maintenance & Work Orders

Softbooq Pro

Preventive work that schedules itself from the last service date.

Generate the work orders that are due, consume the parts from stock, raise a purchase order when you are short, and watch the next service date move forward the moment the job is closed.

Planned work that plans itself

Preventive maintenance fails when it depends on somebody remembering to look.

Bulk-generate what is due

Assets falling due inside a lead window get their work orders in one action, so the schedule is worked rather than recalled.

Closing recalculates the next date

Completing a work order writes the last service date and computes the next from the interval on the asset. The plan maintains itself.

A schedule view across the estate

What is coming due and when, across every asset, so a quiet week can be used rather than discovered afterwards.

Requests that become orders on approval

Anyone can raise a fault; approving it creates the work order and links the two, so nothing is fixed informally and invisibly.

Parts, suppliers and cost

A work order that does not touch stock or the ledger is a note.

Parts used come off the shelf

Parts recorded on a work order post a stock adjustment against the store they came from, so the shelf and the system agree.

Raise a purchase order from the job

When the part is not in stock, a draft order to the supplier is created without leaving the work order.

Cost by month and by status

Spend to date and open work by status, so a rising bill on one asset is visible before it becomes a replacement decision.

History against the asset

Every job kept on the equipment record, which is what turns "it keeps breaking" into a documented case for replacing it.

The details that took the longest

Small decisions you only make after getting them wrong.

Every one of these is a specific behaviour, chosen for a specific reason. They are the difference between software that demos well and software that survives a year of month-ends.

The next service date is computed, never typed

Closing a job writes the last date and derives the next from the asset interval. Where the next date is entered by hand it is wrong within two cycles, and preventive maintenance quietly becomes reactive maintenance with a calendar.

Parts consumed are a stock movement, not a note

A work order that lists parts without moving them leaves inventory overstated by exactly the amount of everything ever repaired. The adjustment posts against the store the part actually came from.

Nothing is an island

What reaches Maintenance without anyone typing it again.

Every one of these is a real data path, not a promise of "full integration".

Assets

Completion writes the last and next service dates onto the asset

Inventory

Parts consumed post a stock adjustment against the store

Procurement

A work order can raise a draft purchase order to its supplier

Manufacturing

Work centres carry their own maintenance schedule
