# Service definition

Service definitions are organized in a hierarchical structure:

- Plan
- Section
- Task

The plan level groups related service definitions and provides a logical structure for maintenance information.

A plan is a container and does not represent a maintenance activity by itself.

Within a plan, sections categorize service activities into service areas such as:

- Engine
- Transmission
- Hydraulics
- Electrical systems

Tasks represent the actual maintenance and service activities to be performed.

At task level, you can define:

- Service instructions
- Service intervals
- Labor estimates
- Associated spare parts kits

Each task includes the item or component the service applies to.

If spare parts are required, you can add a service kit containing required parts and quantities.

The task applies to the radiator assembly and two hose items are required for the task

A single task can be associated with multiple items when the same maintenance activity and spare parts apply.

This avoids duplicate task definitions and simplifies service planning.
