The primary use of this function is to identify preferred vendors for a particular type of job and establish categories of repair (plumbing, painting, landscaping work, electrical, etc.). The Maintenance Type can be used when entering a work order to select the vendor you wish to assign.
ID
The Record ID, consisting of the ID and Name fields, must be unique to the Maintenance Types defined.
Name
This field is used to further identify the ID. It could be the vendor name or type of job they do.
For example:
1) If you have two different plumbers, the ID could be Plumb1 and Plumb2 and the long description either their names or the specific types of work you want to use them for.
2) An alternative is to put the Vendor ID in the ID field and use the Name field for the type of work and any limitations. When searching for plumbers, use the sort by Name sequence.
