Task Card Discrepancy

The Task Card Discrepancy feature allows the user to enter and review discrepancies of the Work Order Task Card by the mechanic or shift leader working on a Task Card and enter a resolution. The reviewed discrepancy will be displayed in Production/Update/W/O Task Card Discrepancy Close for either closing or rejecting the resolution.

Task Card Discrepancy Process

The discrepancies are entered during the Task Card closing process in the Production module (i.e. in Task Card Manual Closing).

From the Work Order Task Card Window, select the Work Order Task Card Discrepancy but_wo_tc_disrepancy_small button. TRAX displays the Work Order Task Card/Defect Engineering Request Window. Populate all mandatory information and select the Save but_save_small button. The Save prompt appears. Select OK.

Go to Engineering/Update/Task Card Discrepancy.

TRAX displays the W/O Task Card/Defect Engineering Request Review Window.

Note: Only discrepancies assigned to the user currently logged into TRAX will show up in Task Card Discrepancy. Go to Task Card Discrepancy Supervisor to view all discrepancies.

In case of rejection, the discrepancy will be displayed in Task Card Discrepancy again for further processing.

The W/O Task Card Discrepancy Close Supervisor allows the same functionality, but shows all discrepancies that were entered, not only those assigned to the person currently logged into TRAX.
