Release to Service

Explanation

This activity is used to perform sign off of a maintenance order having sign off requirements. The following rules apply when signing off a maintenance order:

• If sign off requirements with both the Release to Service and Counter Release to Service requirement types are defined on the maintenance order, two different persons are required to sign off the maintenance order.
• If a certificate has been defined for the release to service sign off requirements on the maintenance order, the person signing off the maintenance order must have the necessary qualifications to perform the sign off. Note: If a certificate is not used for the release to service sign off requirements when signing off, the identity of the person performing the sign off is retained but validations will not be performed.
• When signing off a maintenance order where more than one signature requirement has been defined for the same requirement type, only one signature can be specified and the person signing off must have all certificates required.

Prerequisites

To perform this activity, a maintenance order with release to service sign off requirements must exist on the maintenance order. The maintenance order must be in the Work Done status.

System Effects

• The maintenance order is signed off.
• The ID of the person who performed the sign off and the date of signing off is entered automatically on the sign off requirement.
