Schedule work packages to external vendors

For maintenance that you outsource to external vendors, you schedule the work package in Maintenix to select the vendor and the start date of the work.

1. Find the work package.
2. On the Work Package Details page, click Schedule Work Package.
3. On the Schedule Work Package page, select Work done by an external vendor.
4. In the remaining areas of the page, provide the required information. Note the following:
   • Collection Required: Select this option if you want a supervisor to flag all job cards in Maintenix that are collected on paper when the work is done.
   • Work Location: Click Select Location to select the location where the work package will be done. You can automatically issue inventory for part requests if you select a Vendor Line or Vendor Track location with auto-issue enabled as the Work Location.
   • Repair Vendor: Click Select Repair Vendor to select the repair vendor who will do the work.
   • Vendor work Package No: If the vendor provided you with a work package number they use to track the order, enter that number.
   • Repair Unit Price: Enter the agreed upon price for the work.
   • Scheduled Start/End: Select the date and time when the work package is scheduled to begin and end.
   • Charge to Account: Select the account to be billed for this work package.
5. Click OK.
   At the top of the Work Package Details page, the RO Number appears. You can click it to see the details of the repair order.
