Maintenance History

Every asset shows all work orders, PM executions, downtime events, and costs.

Included Data

• All corrective and preventive work orders
• PM plan execution history
• Downtime records with duration and cost
• Parts consumed and labor spent
• Total maintenance cost over time

Maintenance tab on the asset

On every asset, the Preventive Maintenance tab shows three sections: the active PM plans linked to that asset, the history of preventive interventions (terminal status — completed, validated, or closed), and the history of corrective interventions. A date range filter at the top scopes both history sections. Entries stay visible after the work order has been validated or closed.

Logging a past intervention

Use 'Log past work' from the asset's Preventive Maintenance tab to record an intervention that has already happened — including before you started using FreeMaint. The work order is created directly in Closed state with the date you provide. When you link it to a PM plan and tick 'Update this PM plan', the next due date is recalculated from your historical date. A monotonic guard prevents older entries from rewinding a more recent completion.

Logging past work requires the 'work_orders.backdate' permission (default: Admin and Manager).
