Why train Maintenance-to-Settlement as an end-to-end process?

Because the user-facing step depends on upstream master data, status, integration and period-end controls.

What should support check first when the process fails?

Start with the source document, status, log, master data and authorization before changing configuration.

Confirm actuals

Record time, technical findings, measurements and spare parts.

Achten Sie auf: Confirmations are the evidence behind cost and reliability reports.

Complete technically and financially

Set technical completion, review open reservations and settle costs.
