Some things the system will refuse to do, on purpose. If you hit one you
will get a clear message, not an error. These rules are the controls the
paper system relied on people to remember.
- A job cannot be completed until QA has passed it.
- Equipment cannot be released unless its inspection passed.
- Parts cannot be issued beyond what is in stock.
- Restricted equipment is invisible without the right clearance.
- Nothing is ever deleted. Wrong records are cancelled or corrected with a
reason, and the original stays on file.
- Every work order belongs to a visit; every part issued belongs to a work
order; cancelling anything needs a written reason.
Every action, by every user, is written to a permanent audit trail that
nobody can edit.
