Defining EMRS codes

EMRS codes were previously called VMRS codes in the EAM application.

The American Trucking Association’s Vehicle Maintenance Reporting System (VMRS) is a set of codes used to track equipment and maintenance within the fleet/transportation industry. VMRS provides a "universal language" to help various personnel, such as maintenance employees, management, suppliers, and manufacturers, communicate more easily and accurately. Values for all Code Keys are installed in the database.

EAM has expanded the functionality to include all equipment. Within the application V for Vehicle is now E for Equipment. If you reference ATA codes, these codes still exist in the EAM application, but are now stored on the EMRS Codes screen.

When defining EMRS codes, you must first define a system-level code before you can define assembly-level or component-level codes.

  1. Select Work > Setup > EMRS Codes.
  2. Click New Record.
  3. Specify this information:
    Description
    Specify the description of the EMRS code.
    System Level
    Specify the EMRS code identifying the system, e.g, brakes, frame, or suspension, associated with the vehicle (Code Key 31).
    Assembly Level
    Specify the EMRS code identifying the associated subsystem (Code Key 32). The values available are based on the system-level code.
    Component Level
    Specify the EMRS code identifying the specific component or part (Code Key 33). The values available are based on a combination of the system-level code and the assembly-level code.
    Icon
    Select the color of the icon to indicate the importance of the user code.
    Icon Path
    Specify the URL path to the image you would like to use for the icon. Accepted icon paths begin with
    • http://
    • //
    • \\
    • https://
    Material Type
