The W/O Shop Detail window is accessed by selecting a W/O from the Shop Work Order Header.

The following information/options are available in this window:
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Shop W/O

The Shop Work Order reference number.

Parent W/O

If this Shop W/O acts as a “child” to a parent Shop W/O, that parent Shop W/O should appear here. For more information on how to create parent/child W/O relationships, please refer to the Change The Parent Work Order button section of the Productions manual.

Re-Open button

Select this button to re-open a Post-Completed W/O. Upon selecting the Re-Open button, the Notes window will appear, where the user must enter a note before the W/O can be re-opened. Entering a note will automatically change the W/O to Open Status. Any compliances written when the W/O was Post-Completed will be unchanged. Additionally, the compliances of new E/Cs added to the W/O will be written when the W/O is Post-Completed again.

Note: This button is security-controlled via Security Explorer/ Production/ W/O/ W/O Status Edit. For more information refer to the Security Explorer via the System Administration Training Manual. Users with security to the Re-Open button will override the setting of the Production switch PPCWOFBR.

Re-Open Notes button - Once a W/O has changed to Open Status by using the Re-Open button, the Re-Open Notes button will appear next to the W/O number. From here, users can view, edit, or add notes against the W/O record in the Note Pad window. Users without security to the Re-Open button can only view notes in the Note Pad window.

Status

The status of the Shop Work Order.

Closed - Shop W/O is closed, no updates allowed.

Open - If Shop W/O is Open, and a rotable is issued and later returned, the system will force the user to do a Work Order Credit, which may not be the correct transaction.

Completed - Shop W/O is completed but not closed, updates are allowed.

Hold - Shop W/O is on Hold, no updates allowed, but not closed.

Line - Shop W/O is for Line Maintenance Issues only (items returned will not require Credit Work Order). Because it is necessary for material to be issued to a Shop W/O on the system, some companies prefer to use specific W/O's for this purpose. A Shop W/O could be created for every aircraft turn around but this may cause an unacceptable administrative burden. For the purposes of creating Shop W/O's with material requirements, it is possible to select the Line status rather than Open status (when creating the new Work Order). The Line status will allow rotable parts to be issued to the Shop W/O and later returned U/S (if removed at a later time). For additional information, please refer to the Shop W/O closing section regarding closing Line Work Orders.

Generation - Shop W/O is in the process of being created.
