Create Sub-Work Order – A summary of the activity

While executing a work order, you may come across defects, which were not reported earlier. These defects are known as discrepancies or non-routines. Maintenance activity needs to be performed for these discrepancies. If the scope / work content of these non-routines is relatively high, you can create a sub-work order for these non-routines which is created on a main work order.

A sub-work order is similar to a normal work order. Each sub-work order has a unique number. The sub-work order also maintains the reference of the parent work order. In addition to managing non-routines, a sub-work order can also be used to split an existing work order and move a set of tasks from the parent work order to the new sub-work order.

What you can do in this activity

Create a sub-work order

Specify parts required for the work order or task

Specify resources required for the work order or task

Schedule work order

Raise an engineering service request

Select tasks to split an existing work order

Create a sub-work order

You can create a sub-work order, to perform unplanned maintenance activities or to split up an existing work order.

• Select a parent work order in the “Select Work Order” page.

• Use the “Create Work Order” page, to create a sub-work order.

Specify parts required for the work order or task

You can modify the quantity of parts required to execute a work order or work order task.

• Use the “Edit Task Part Requirements” page, to modify the quantity of parts required to execute the task.

• Use the “Edit Work Order Part Requirements” page, to modify the quantity of parts required to execute the work order.

Specify resources required for the work order or task

You can modify the resources that are estimated for the execution of the work order or task.

• Use the “Edit Task Resource Requirements” page, to modify the resources required for the task.

• Use the “Edit Work Order Resource Requirements” page, to modify the resources required for the work order.

Schedule work order

The work order or individual tasks of the work order can be scheduled.

• Use the “Schedule / Re-schedule Work Orders” page, to schedule or reschedule the work order.

Raise an engineering service request

You can create an engineering service request (ESR), to communicate the request for clarifications to the respective engineering cell on a maintenance object. The details of the aircraft, components, reference documents and work center are provided in the ESR.

• Use the “Create ES Request” page, to create an ESR.

Select tasks to split an existing work order

You can select tasks in an existing work order, and move them to a new sub-work order.

• Select the tasks that you need to move, in the “Select Task” page.

• Use the “Create Work Order” page, to create a sub-work order for the selected tasks.
