A follow-up order is a type of order that is generated when a checklist task in an order that was generated by maintenance strategy is unable to be completed. For the system to generate a follow-up order, the object or its version must have a maintenance strategy interval with a checklist applied to it.

Follow-up orders are generated by individual tasks within a checklist. For a task to generate a follow-up order, it must have an order template applied to it.
