In the edit box provided alongside, enter a value corresponding to the “Search On” value selected for which you wish to retrieve matching Shop Work Orders. Mandatory.

An additional edit box is displayed alongside to enter the serial #, if the value “Part # / Serial #” is selected.

You can enter the value in full or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system retrieves all shop work order numbers that are similar to the number entered here.

Note: The system retrieves those work orders that match the search criteria specified by the user, and which are in “Draft”, “Fresh”, “Planned”, “In-Progress” and “Completed” status.

By Status

Select this radio button if you wish to display the all the work orders in a linear level in the “Work Order” tree, based on the combination of estimation status and work order status.  

By Event

Select this radio button if you wish to display the work orders and their child work orders in a hierarchical display grouped by Event #, in the “Work Order” tree.

Tree Structure

The system displays the following tree structures in the left pane:

Work Order tree:

This tree displays all the open work orders available for the search criteria specified. All shop work orders that are in “Draft”, Fresh”, “Planned”, “In-progress” and “Completed” status are displayed. When the user performs a search and clicks on “Get” pushbutton, the system displays all the matching work orders based on the selection of display option “By Status” or “By Event”.

By Status:

A parent node “Shop Work Order” is displayed below which all the shop work orders are displayed based on their statuses, under the following folders:

a.       Pending Initial Workscoping: All work orders in “Draft” status and work orders in “Fresh” status with no tasks, are displayed under this node.

b.       Pending Estimates: All work orders which has ‘Estimation Status’ as “Pending Estimates”, “Pending Confirmation” or “Re-estimates Required” along with ‘Work Order Status’ as “Fresh”, “Planned”, “In-Progress” and “Completed”, are displayed in this node.

c.        Pending Release: The system displays all the work orders which have ‘Estimation Status’ as “Confirmed Estimates”, “Not Required” or “Released Estimates” and ‘Task Status’ as “Fresh”.

d.       Released: All the work orders which have ‘Estimation Status’ as “Confirmed Estimates”, “Not Required” or “Released Estimates” and ‘Task Status’ as “Planned”, “In-Progress”, “Completed” and “Closed”, are displayed here.

The tree structure when the work orders are displayed on selecting “By Status”, is as follows:

Shop Work Order

    - Pending Initial Workscoping

             - Part # :: Serial # :: Component # :: Part Desc.

          - SWO # :: Work Center # :: SWO Desc. :: Status

+ Pending Estimates

+ Pending Release

+ Released

By Event:

On selecting “By Event”, the tree displays all the work orders and their child work orders at different levels, establishing the parent-child relationship. If there is a break-up in the hierarchical chain of the work orders, an ‘Up Arrow’ or ‘Down Arrow’ symbol is displayed in the tree, to denote that parent work order or a child work order is not displayed, respectively. They may not be displayed either because of the search condition or because of the login user not having security access to view the work order.  The tree structure is as follows:

Shop Work Order

    - Event #1

             - SWO# :: Part # :: Serial # :: Component # :: Part Desc.

          - SWO # :: Work Center # :: SWO Desc. :: Part # :: Serial # :: Part Desc. Status

                                + Event #2

+ Event #3

When the user clicks the SWO node in the tree, the work order details pertaining to the SWO are displayed in the right pane and the tress changes automatically to the “Work Order Tasks” tree displaying task(s) pertaining to the SWO.

Note: In the tree structure, the system displays “Mfr. Part # - Mfr. #” combination, if the parameter “Enable Manufacturer Part # control in transaction” under the Category ‘Manufacturer Part #’ is set as “Yes” in the “Set Inventory Process Parameters” activity of the “Logistics Common Master” business component. If the parameter is set as “No”, the system displays “Part #”.

Note: If the login user does not have access to any of the work centers for which shop work order is created, those work order must not be listed in the tree.

Work Order Tasks tree:

This tree is displayed automatically, when a work order is selected in the “Work Order” tree. All the workscoping tasks defined in the highest level in the SWO selected are displayed here. The system displays only those tasks which have WBC code for which the process parameter 'Workscoping Element?’ is set as “Yes”.

The tree displays ‘Work Order #’ as the parent node and the first level nodes such as “Routine Tasks”, “Life Limited Parts”, “Repair Units”, “Non-Routines” and “Eng. Docs”. The task statuses are displayed as child nodes under each first level nodes. The tree structure is as follows:

Work Order #

      - Routine Tasks

  Draft

        ATA # :: Task # :: Task Desc. :: Part # :: Serial # :: Work Center # :: Part Desc.

  Fresh

       ATA # :: Task # :: Task Desc. :: Part # :: Serial # :: Work Center # :: Part Desc.

  Planned

       ATA # :: Task # :: Task Desc. :: Part # :: Serial # :: Work Center # :: Part Desc.

  In-Progress

       ATA # :: Task # :: Task Desc. :: Part # :: Serial # :: Work Center # :: Part Desc.

 Ext. Routed

       ATA # :: Task # :: Task Desc. :: Part # :: Serial # :: Work Center # :: Part Desc. 

+ Life Limited Parts

+ Repair Units

+ Non-Routines

+ Eng.Docs

When a work order displayed in the tree is cancelled, and when you click the “Work Order” tree, the work order which is cancelled is not displayed in the “Work Order” tree. When a new work order is created without going through the search criteria, the “Work Order Task” tree is highlighted with the newly created work order-task information. Now, when the user clicks on the “Work Order” tree, the newly created work order # must be displayed.

Due List tree:

For the component # in the main core section, when you click this tree, the system displays the tree structure with first level node as "Part # :: Serial # :: Rem. Times" in the expanded state. The Sch. Tasks, Eng. Docs, Discrepancies, Applicable Tasks, Unprocessed Tasks and Sub-Assemblies are displayed as second level nodes. Only those tasks with Job Type “On-wing” or “Off-wing” Job types, are displayed in the Sch. Tasks folder of “Due List” tree.

Applicable tasks: This folder will contain the list of all the Active tasks that are effective for the specific Part # available in the “Order Details” Tab and the tasks that have WBS Codes for which process parameter ‘Workscoping Element’ set as “Yes'' in the “Common Master” business component. When due list is retrieved for a prime part, the repair scheme associated with the prime parts are also retrieved.

Forecasted tasks: The forecasted tasks are the tasks that are retrieved from the pending tray, if maintenance program is available for the task.

The tree structure as follows:

Part # :: Serial # :: Part Desc. :: Rem. Times

     Sch. Tasks :: Rem. Times

 [NP] ATA # :: Task # :: Task Desc. :: Rem. Times

     Eng. Docs

    Discrepancies :: Rem. Times

    Applicable Tasks

   Unprocessed Tasks

 ATA # :: Task # :: Task Desc. :: Part # :: Part Desc.

    Sub Assemblies

Part # :: Serial # :: Rem. Times

          Tasks :: Rem. Times

          Eng. Docs :: Rem. Times

          Discrepancies :: Rem. Times

          Applicable Tasks

          Unprocessed Tasks

          Spare Parts

Spare Parts

Note: ‘Rem. Times’ is not applicable for the tasks falling under “Applicable Tasks” folder. Intermediate tasks without parent will not be displayed under the “Applicable Tasks” folder.

Display of Unprocessed Tasks:

  1. Displays the tasks with Part # / Mfr. Part # - Mfr. # same as the Main Core Part # / Main Core Mfr. Part # - Mfr. #of the current SWO.

  2. Displays the tasks with Part # / Mfr. Part # - Mfr. # available as an alternate Part # to the Main Core Part # / Main Core Mfr. Part # - Mfr. # of the current SWO, if

The order in which the tasks are displayed in the “Due List” tree, is based on the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Code definition.

The system displays the tasks that are due from current date to the target date i.e. current date+Planning Horizon, if the 'Planning Horizon (Days)' is defined in the for the entity 'SWO - All Order Types', in the “Common Master” business component. If the planning horizon is not defined, the system displays all the due tasks for the next 7 days.

Note: Either Part # or Mfr. Part # / Mfr. # and Serial # must be available in the main core section in the “Order Details” tab, for displaying the tasks in this tree other than Job Type as “Facility”. For Job Type as “Facility”, Facility Object # will be available. The symbol ‘[NP]’ in the tree structure denotes “Not Planned’ and ‘[P]’ denotes “Planned”. If the task is already available in the work order or in one of its child(s) not in a terminated status, it will be displayed as [P]. Else, it will be displayed as [NP].

Note: The system displays “Mfr. Part # - Mfr. #” combination in the tree, if the parameter “Enable Manufacturer Part # control in transaction” under the Category ‘Manufacturer Part #’ is set as “Yes” in the “Set Inventory Process Parameters” activity of the “Logistics Common Master” business component. If the parameter is set as “No”, the system displays “Part #”.

Updating work order

Note: You cannot create customer based work order in this screen.

For a shop work order which requires an exchange of its main core, with an exchange order initiated, the system does not allow modification of the main core details and the quantity details of the work order.

The system performs the following on clicking the “Update Work Order” pushbutton:

    1. Copies all the sub-tasks of the task irrespective of the 'Resource Group' identified for the sub-task.

    2. If 'Resource Group' of the sub-task is set as "Not Required", the sub-task is copied and its 'Sign-Off Requirement' is marked as "Not Required".

    3. If 'Resource Group' of the sub-task is other than "Not Required" (Mechanic, Inspector, Mech. & Insp.), but 'Skill Requirements' are not identified for the 'Resource Group', the sub-task is copied and its 'Sign-Off Requirement' is marked as "Not Required".

    4. If 'Resource Group' of the sub-task is other than "Not Required" (Mechanic, Inspector, Mech. & Insp.) and 'Skill Requirements' are identified for the 'Resource Group', the system copies the sub-task and its 'Sign-Off Requirements'. The Sign-off requirements are copied from the “Edit Resource and Sign-Off Requirements” page of the “Maintenance Task” business component.

Note: If the parameter ' is set as “Not Required”, user has to manually generate the material request for the work order.

Note: Even if all the records in the multiline are updated with Exec. Action as "Cancel" and Task Status is updated as "Cancelled", the work order cannot be considered as “Cancelled”.

    1. If ‘Expense Type’ is set as “Capital”.

    2. If “Enforce Object to Asset Mapping For” is set as “Component” / “Facility” in the “Set Options” activity of the “Account Group” business component, and if the ‘Job Type’ of the Shop Work Order is “Component” / “Facility”.

    1. If the current business component interacts with the “Asset Planning” business component.

    2. If ‘Expense Type” is set as "Capital".

    3. “Asset Capitalization” and “Maintenance Asset Tracker” business components are deployed in the Login OU.

    4. If “Enforce Object to Asset Mapping For” is set as “Component” in the “Set Options” activity of the “Account Group” business component.

    1. For a SWO Type, Process Parameter 'Auto MR Generation on Order Release?' is set as “Required'”in the “Common Master” business component.

    2. Task status must be moved to “Planned”

    3. ‘Need Frequency’ of the Spare Parts is “Always Required”.

Note: The system allows Auto MR generation, only for the Spare Parts which are effective. For conditionally effective and non-effective parts, MR Generation is not allowed.

Note: The system copies the 'Part Requirements', 'Resource Requirements', 'Sign-Off Requirements' and 'Parameter Requirements' from the previous work order to the current work order, during movement of tasks.

Note: The above update does not happen for duplicate records.

If an execution work center is identified in repair scheme for child task(s) and if parent task is added in a shop work order, the system retrieves the execution work center and saves it, irrespective of whether it has the same or different station code as that of the primary work center.

If a reference work center is identified in repair scheme for child task(s) and if parent task is added in a shop work order, the system retrieves the corresponding execution work center through station code mapping. This is possible even if the station code of the work center retrieved is different from the station code of the primary work center in the work order.

Note: The employee cost center is derived from the Department-Cost Center mapping defined for an employee in the “Organization Structure” business component.

How the system deals with Recurring operational tasks on work order update

The process parameter “Auto duplication of task repetition during Work Scoping” under the entity “User Defined Entity” of the entity type “Shop work Order Type” in the Define Process Parameters activity of Common Master decides whether recurring operational tasks must be scheduled for execution or not.

If “Auto duplication of task repetition during Work Scoping” is ‘0’, the system sets Exe. Action = Duplicate, thereby preventing execution of operational tasks recurring in multiple Workscoping tasks. Alternately, if the value of the process parameter is ‘1’, the system sets Exe. Action = Execute for recurring operational tasks.

Refer to illustration to learn more on this.

Canceling work order
