An equipment ower wants to be able to view the “type” and “model” from the producer/supplier even when they are using the product linking functionality and select show “my values” for these two fields.
”To ensure full oversight of equipment, good data quality is absolutely essential.
By using TYPE and MODEL as the main and subcategory respectively, and making these fields read-only, we can establish a structured and clear system – both for equipment management and for use within the project module.
However, if we choose this solution, we will lack information about the Manufacturer Model. This is a critical piece of information in several contexts:
-
Training – To comply with legal requirements related to training, we must know which manufacturer model the training applies to.
-
Error handling and recalls – Enables quick identification of affected equipment in case of faults or deviations.
-
Traceability – Important for documentation, maintenance history, and quality assurance.
-
Procurement – Ensures that we receive the same equipment when reinvesting or replenishing stock.”
