SWO #

Use the drop-down list box to select the SWO Type against which a shop work order has to be created. The system lists all the “Active” entities with ‘Process Parameter defined’ set as “Yes” for the Entity Type “Shop Work Order”, in the “Define Process Entities” activity of the “Common Masters” business component.

The system leaves this field blank by default.

Order Description

The textual description of the work order. The work order description must be specified during release of the work order.

The system displays the following field:

Status

The status of the shop work order, which could be which could be “Draft”, “Fresh”, “Planned”, “In-Progress”, “Completed”, “Pre-closed”, “Closed”, “Duplicate ”, “Cancelled” .

Job Type

Use the drop-down list box to select the job type of the shop work order. The system displays the following options:

  • “Engine” - Select this option if you wish to create work order for the engine.

  • “Component” – Select this option if you wish to create work order on a part whose part type is “Component”.

  • “Piece Part” – Select this option if the work order is being created on a part whose part type is non-component.

  • “Make” – Select this option if the work order is being created for parts that are being fabricated at the work center.

  • “Facility” – Select this option if the work order is being created for maintenance of equipments or tools that are used for maintenance of parts.

  • All the work centers for which “Execution Capability” is set as “Shop” or “All” in the “Identify Exe. Unit Work Centers” activity of the “Work Center” business component.

  • Work centers for which ‘Work Center Class’ is set as “Execution”.

By default the system leaves this field blank.

Event #

The event number indicating the visit of the main core and identified for grouping the shop work order. The event number is a linkage between the parent work order and the child work order(s). When one or more child work orders are created for a parent work order, the Event # in the parent work order has to be defaulted to all the child work orders.

For a main core against which a shop work order is created, if an exchange order is available in “Approved” status, the system updates Event # as ‘Blank’ in the recipient work order. In the donor work order, the system updates the Event # of the recipient.

Process Parameter dependency: If the process parameter ‘Default the Root Work Order # and the respective Part # / Serial # as the Event # of the Child Work Order?’ under the entity type Shop Work Order Type and the entity All Work Orders in the Define Process Entities activity of Common Master is set as 1 for Yes, the Event # field for the child work order will display Root Work Order # and its Part # & Serial #. However, if the process parameter has been set as 0 for No, the Event # field will not display Root Work Order # and its Part # & Serial #.
