You use the Failure Codes application to copy failure codes
from an existing failure hierarchy into a new hierarchy or into a
hierarchy that you are modifying.
About this task
Duplicating a failure code is useful when you have an asset,
such as a motor, that can be expected to have the same failure class
as an existing motor. When you duplicate the failure codes for the
existing motor, all of the problems, causes, and remedies associated
with that motor are copied to the failure hierarchy for the new motor.
