Associate Work Orders |
The Associate Work Orders tab enables you to associate existing work orders with a multiple equipment work order. Entries on this tab will update the parent work order and link it to the associated work order. When the record is processed, the information on this tab is transferred to the Basic Info tab. Work orders can be associated throughout the life of the parent work order.
You can unassociate a work order with the parent work order on either this screen or the Work Order Center screen. Tasks associated with the multi-unit work order are not automatically removed from the associated work order.
Tip: To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter. The list of searchable fields on the filter is extensive; use the scroll bar to view them all. If you search on task ID, incident ID, or project ID, you are encouraged to specify a location ID as well to help reduce the amount of search time required.

The fields in the top section of this tab define the data that displays. Unless otherwise indicated, these fields are required.
Parent work order ID
Identifier of the multiple equipment work order currently selected in the grid or that you are inserting (opening).
The work order ID is composed of three parts:
Location identifier of the shop to which the work order is assigned. Defaults to the location ID in the user's Session location ID field on the Basic Info tab of the System Management -> Setup -> Access Rights -> Users screen. This field has a list box of locations that the user has access to as defined on the System Mgmt -> Setup -> Access Rights -> Rights Templates -> Location Access Template screen. The location must support work orders.
If there is a check 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, it must be the equipment IDs access rights location ID specified on the Locations tab of the Data -> Equipment Units -> Fleet Equipment screen.Calendar year in which the work order was opened.
Sequential number in the range from 1 to 9999999.
When you insert (open) a new parent work order, you can assign a work order ID manually or you can let the application assign the work order ID for you. To have the application assign the work order ID, type the location ID where the work order will be filled. The current year fills in automatically and the next sequential number available at that shop is assigned. To change the number, type another number over it.
