An activity report describes a maintenance or service activity already performed, or one that was not the result of a malfunction or damage. It simply provides technical documentation of which activities were performed when and with what results. Activity reports are therefore used for the technical confirmation of maintenance or service activities.

A typical activity report, for example, is the inspection findings, since it describes the results of an inspection to test the actual condition of the object. In most cases, the inspection task is based upon an inspection order.

Another typical activity report is the maintenance findings. This documents the technical values of the object that are determined during and/or after planned maintenance work. This maintenance work is performed in order to maintain the ideal condition of the object, and always results from maintenance plans.

Typical examples of the activities documented in activity reports are "Fill up oil", "Check pressure" or "Tighten screws".

When you create an activity report, you have already performed an activity. You want to document this activity using an activity report. To do this, enter the following information, where applicable:

• Which activity you performed

• Where you performed the activity

• What effects it may have (had)

• What the extent of the activity was

The activity report differs from the malfunction report or customer notification in that no malfunctions or problems need to be described, only the activities that were performed.
