Linear Work Order |
The Linear Work Order screen enables you to post work performed and specify parts used to repair a linear asset. Work is generally performed either at a specific point (defined by a marker, segment, and offset) or across a section of the asset (defined by a range of markers, segments, and offsets). Linear work orders must be opened and closed from the Linear Work Order screen. You may also open linear work orders for single-point equipment.
General Linear Work Order Information
You can open two types of work orders:
Repair
Tip: If you are performing an update that requires a calendar to calculate hours but the calendar has not been generated for that time period, a warning message appears. You will be allowed to process the update, but the hours will not be calculated properly because the calendar has not been generated. If you receive this warning message, ask your system administrator to generate the calendar.
To streamline data entry, you can copy work orders using the Copy button. For a list of the data items that are copied and not copied, see Work order data items copied. Remember that behind-the-scenes functionality specified on the Linear Work Order screen also applies to linear work order actions performed through the Shop Activity Portals in Web Modules.
The Linear Work Order screen supports location level access control, so you must belong to a user group with the applicable authorization to make changes or updates. In addition, the option specified in the Require match between work order location and equipment access rights location field on the Options tab of the Data -> Shop Activity -> Setup -> Options screen indicates whether users can open work orders on this screen
You can use the % wildcard character to filter the results of choice lists on this screen.
