3 Cases for Vendors to Initiate a Repair Job

There are 3 cases that may exist when a vendor adds or receives a piece of equipment for repair:

Case 1 - The component has a plant tag ID, and a plant user has already entered the information into Tango showing it has been "Sent for Repair". In this case, go to section Equipment Repair Data Entry or Edit Equipment Definitions.

Case 2 -The component has a plant tag ID, but the plant has not entered "Sent for Repair" for that plant tag into Tango. In this case, go to section Find Equipment to learn how to search for equipment or Send Equipment for Repair once a search has been completed.

Case 3 - The component does not have a plant tag ID, is missing its information, or is a new piece of equipment that needs to be entered.

In the case of missing information, search for the equipment with other provided information (HP, RPM, Framesize, serial number, etc.). See Find Equipment.

In the other two instances, a new piece of equipment will need to be added and attach a permanent plant tag to the equipment. See Add New Equipment.
