Comments |
The Comments tab for internal rebuilds enables you to view and record comments about the work order.
You can use this tab to describe the service writer’s diagnosis of what needs to be done, and the technicians’ comments about the work performed. These comments are retained permanently with the work order information; they are a part of the part's work history.
Tip: To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter. You can sort on work order location ID/year/number, job status, part ID/suffix, current work delay, or work class, among other values. If you specify a cross-reference part ID and the system cannot find it, it searches for and displays the applicable system part ID.
You can also use the sort button to arrange the order in which work order IDs are listed. If you do not specify a sort sequence, IDs are listed in descending order by the Date and time in field (specified on the Basic Info tab).
The fields in the top section of this tab define the data that displays.
Work order ID
Identifier of the work order currently selected in the grid or that you are defining. The work order ID is composed of three parts: the location, year, and number. The location part of the field has a list box.
