Add a Breakdown/Request

The Breakdown/Request allows you to capture Maintenance Breakdowns or Requests as a result of Service Records or once off issues.

Note: A Breakdown/Request is a standalone Record and does not require a Programme to be set up first before it can be created.

How to Add a Breakdown/Request Record

To add a Breakdown/Request in Safefood 360°, navigate to the Maintenance module using the 'PRP Control>Maintenance' buttons and click the 'Add Breakdown/Request' button to open a blank Breakdown/Request Record.

After creating your Breakdown/Request Record, the Breakdown/Request Details workflow stage will open. The Breakdown/Request Details workflow stage must be completed, and saved and submitted before the next workflow stage will become accessible. The other workflow stages will remain greyed out and inaccessible until the 'Save & Submit' button has been clicked for the workflow stage before it.
