Stride Maintenance extends Odoo's equipment management to support recurring preventive maintenance. You define a schedule for each maintenance task (how often it should happen, who does it, and how long it takes), and Odoo automatically creates maintenance requests on time so nothing is missed.

**Maintenance → Equipment** → open any equipment record → **Preventive Maintenance** tab

1. Go to **Maintenance → Equipment**.

2. Open the equipment record you want to schedule maintenance for.

3. Click the **Preventive Maintenance** tab.

4. Click **Add a Line** to add a new maintenance task.

For each task, fill in:

| Field | Description |

|---|---|

| **Task Name** | What needs to be done (e.g., "Oil Change", "Filter Replacement") |

| **Frequency (Days)** | How many days between each maintenance (e.g., 90 for quarterly) |

| **Technician** | Who is responsible for this task |

| **Duration (Hours)** | How long the task is expected to take |

| **Last Date** | When this task was last performed |

5. Click **Save**.

Odoo runs an automatic background process each day. When a scheduled maintenance task is due (based on the last date + frequency), a **Maintenance Request** is automatically created and assigned to the designated technician. No manual action is needed.

- Go to **Maintenance → Maintenance Requests**.

- Filter or group by **Equipment** or **Scheduled Date** to see what is coming up.

- Overdue tasks will be clearly visible by their past-due scheduled dates.
