This page allows you to create a corrective work order for carrying out maintenance work for discrepancies. Tell me more.

The “Create Corrective Work Order” page appears.

The system displays the following field:

Date & Time Format

The format in which the date and time fields are displayed. This format is displayed from the "User Preferences" business component based on the login user ID. In case the format is not defined, the system displays the date and time format from the "Enterprise Modeling" business component by default.

The system displays the following field in the “Work Order Details” group box, on clicking the “Create Work Order” pushbutton:

Work Order #

The number that identifies the corrective work order. This number is generated by the system based on the numbering type selected, on clicking the “Create Work Order” pushbutton.

Numbering Type

Use the drop-down list box to select the numbering type to be used by the system for generating the corrective work order number. Mandatory. The system lists all the numbering types created in the “Create Numbering Class” activity of the “Document Numbering Class” business component that are valid on the current date. By default, the system sets the field to the numbering type specified as default for the “Work Order” transaction.

The system displays the following field:

Order Type

The type to which the corrective work order belongs. The system displays “Unplanned” by default.

The system does not display the tasks in the task details multiline if the output related tasks is duplicated in the entire visit package for which the work order has been created and whose job status is other than Completed, Cancelled, Preclosed and Closed.

For each task entered in the multiline, all those related tasks that are in “Active” status and whose job status is other than “Completed”, “Cancelled”, “Preclosed” and “Closed”, are displayed sequentially in the multiline along with their corresponding part and resource requirements.

For the newly added tasks, ensure that the task assigned to execution document does not have relationship defined as 'Conflict' with already existing tasks in the Task detail multiline. If the Output Related Tasks # assigned to execution document have relationship defined as 'Conflict' with already existing tasks in the Task detail multiline, then the system does not display the conflict task in the task detail multiline.
