Shop Work Order - An overview

The "Shop Work Order" business component allows you to execute shop work orders, which includes performing all execution level operations, recording timesheets for the execution of the tasks, booking in-direct hours, sign-off of tasks, record part receipt details and hold / release a task.

You can create / modify a shop work order. Work orders may be internal or external. Internal work orders are those that are basically created for the MRO use, whereas external work orders are customer based. Currently you can create only internal work orders.

You can create / modify the work orders either by adding tasks or by modifying the attributes of the tasks / work order. The task addition or modification is done before or after the work order is released. For a main core which is part-serial controlled, you can create only one work order in “Open” status. But for a main core at part level, more than one work order can be created.

In this component, you can retrieve applicable and forecasted tasks. Applicable tasks are those tasks which are effective for the part. The forecasted tasks are the tasks that are retrieved from the pending tray, if maintenance program is available for the task.

This component also allows you to initiate the clock for workscope definition.
