This field is security controlled via Security Explorer/ Production/ Update/ W/O/ W/O Logic Drop-Down. For more information refer to the Security Explorer via System Administration Training Manual.

Module

The current module the user is in.

Status drop down

The current status of the Work Order. The following options are available:

Closed - Work Order is closed, no updates allowed. The Closed status indicates that the W/O Actuals are finalized and the financials are closed. Unused materials cannot be returned to stock to credit the W/O.

Note: When Production Switch PCWOFBR is set to Yes, a W/O's status cannot be changed from Closed to any other status, even if the user has security access to 'W/O Re-Open' (above). When set to No, a W/O can be changed from Closed status (as long as they have the above security access to 'W/O Re-Open'). For detailed information refer to Switch PCWOFBR via the Production Switches Manual.

The Work Order can be re-opened with security access. This field is security-controlled via Production/ Update/ W/O/ W/O Re-Open. For more information refer to the Security Explorer via the System Administration Training Manual.

Open - The Work Order has been created and authorized (if applicable). The W/O is available for users to action tasks, track man hours, and issue parts while accomplishing tasks attached to the W/O.

Note: If a part is issued to a W/O and later returned to stock (RTS) while the W/O is Open, the system will force the user to RTS Credit W/O, which may not be the desired transaction.

Completed - Once all Task Cards attached to the W/O are actioned (closed, deferred, canceled) the W/O status automatically changes from Open to Completed. At this point the W/O is completed but not closed, updates are allowed.

Hold - Work Order is on Hold, no updates allowed, but not closed.

Line - Work Order 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 Work Order on the system, some companies prefer to use specific Work Order's for this purpose. A Work Order could be created for every aircraft turn around but this may cause an unacceptable administrative burden. For the purposes of creating 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 Work Order and later returned U/S (if removed at a later time). For additional information, please refer to the Work Order closing section regarding closing Line Work Orders.

Generation - Work Order is in the process of being created and tasks are being attached. No technician or Mechanic will be able to log on to a Task Card until the status is changed to Open.

Note: Planners create Work Order's with the status Generation. Upon completing the Work Order package, the planner should change the status to Open.

Post Completed - When the Post Completed status is set, compliance records are written for E/Cs, P/N E/Cs, P/N Controls, and defects, their repeat schedules reset, and unused material can be returned to stock (RTS) to credit the W/O. This status takes place before the W/O is officially closed.

Note: When Production Switch WOPOSTCM is set to Yes, when a user closes a W/O using the W/O Task Card, Close W/O button or the W/O Closing window, the W/O status changes from Completed to Post Completed. Compliance records are written for controls attached to the W/O and repeat schedules are reset. Users can return to stock (RTS) unused material that was issued to the W/O to credit the W/O Actuals. When WOPOSTCM is set to No, when the user closes a W/O the W/O status changes from Completed to Closed. Compliance records are written and schedules reset; unused material cannot be RTS to credit the W/O Actuals because the W/O and its financials are closed.

Note: Parts that were issued to the Work Order can be returned to stock even after the W/O is in Closed status. For more information refer to the Batch in Inventory Audit (via the Return to Stock button) in the Inventory Training Manual.

Note: In Version 15, switch WOPOSTCM must be set to Yes because the No setting is no longer supported. Work Order Statuses will only go from 'Completed' to 'Post Completed', and not from 'Completed' directly to 'Closed'.

W/O

The Work Order used to categorize, manage, and schedule work requirements for aircraft maintenance.

Warning: It is important to set Customer Orders Switch 'CUST/ORD' at a much higher configuration number than the configuration number of Production Switch 'WOSEQ' to avoid Sales Orders and Work Orders from ever having the same order number. This will prevent inventoried parts from being misallocated.
