A standard work order is a predefined set of details and activities that may be referenced on a work order to facilitate entry of repair jobs that are performed repeatedly over time, but not according to a definable schedule as is the case with periodic preventive maintenance. A basic standard work order defines a simple repair job consisting of one or more activities.
A basic standard work order consists of a header and one or more activity lines. Standard WO, Description, and Organization frame the header of any standard work order, while two additional required fields, WO Type and Duration, and two optional fields, WO Class and Priority, house data that transfers to any work order on which the standard work order is selected. Any activities that are defined for the standard work order are copied to the work order as a result of selecting a standard work order.
To restrict the list of standard work orders available on a given work order to only those defined as applicable for the equipment and/or problem indicated on the work order at the time the standard work order selection is made, enter Equipment Class, and/or Category.
Create standard work orders, and then apply the information from standard work orders to regular work orders.
You can only insert, update, or delete work orders if you are authorized to do so.
