TRAX MANUALS > Production > Production Module > Production, Update Menu > W/O > Work Order Buttons > Task Card Work Button, via Work Order > Close W/O Button, via W/O Task Card (Work)

Through the T/C Work button of the Work Order window, once all Task Cards associated to the Work Order have been actioned (closed, deferred, canceled), the W/O status changes to Completed.

The Close W/O button can then be used to change the W/O status from Completed to Post Completed, which writes compliance records to the attached E/Cs, P/N E/Cs, P/N Controls, and defects so that a Planning forecast can be generated to determine the next due dates. Also, any unused material issued to the W/O can still be returned to stock (RTS) to credit the W/O Actuals (financials).

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: 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'.

The status for the following W/O is Open because it still has Task Cards open.

Select into the remaining Task Cards and close each of them.

Once all Task Cards are closed, the W/O status automatically changes from Open to Completed and the Close W/O button appears.

Note: With Switch COMPTECHLOGWOTC set to Yes, the Completed OnTech Log field is available to be populated upon all Task Cards being closed before the W/O is closed.

Verify the Completion Date and Time and then select the Close W/O button. The W/O status changes from Completed to Post Completed. This status means that the aircraft is released for service and compliance records have been written for the controls, and any unused material issued to the W/O can be returned to stock, crediting the W/O Actuals.

Once the W/O Actuals have been reviewed and all unused material returned to stock, the W/O can be set to Closed status via the W/O Closing Post Completion window.

Note: When Production Switch WOPOSTCM is set to No, once the user selects the Close W/O button, the W/O status changes from Completed to Closed. The aircraft is released for service and compliance records are written for the controls, however unused material cannot be RTS to credit the W/O Actuals because the W/O and its financials are now closed.

E/C P/N Warning:

If a Work Order has multiple P/N E/Cs for the same existing P/N and from the list of P/N E/Cs one has a modified P/N, then a soft warning will display upon W/O Closing.

In the example below E/C '032113' and '0321132' are both effective to P/N '032113SR':

Note that E/C '032113' has P/N '032113SR' and this P/N will be modified to P/N '0321132SR':

The following soft warning is displayed upon W/O Closing:

For additional information on the P/N Modify To field refer to P/N Control Button, via Engineering Control in the Engineering - E/C Training Manual.
