Note: This switch overrides the functionality of Switch PENDAUTH.

Switch Set to Yes:

Scenario 1:

Switch AOVERRWOECTC is set to Yes.

When set to Yes, the system will automatically override the revised Engineering Controls and Task Cards that already exist in open Work Orders that have not yet been printed/authorized.

Create an E/C:

Create a Work Order and tie the existing E/C to the W/O.

E/C 'AA-1' has been attached to Work Order '611042.'

Create a new Work Order and attach the same E/C 'AA-1' and print this W/O.

A revision is done for E/C 'AA-1':

In the Engineering Authorization Management window, select the Mass Authorization button to begin the process of authorizing all pending E/Cs.

Select the Save button in the Mass Authorization Pending E/Cs and Linked Task Cards window. The system will display a message warning the user that this action will authorize all pending E/Cs.

Shortly after the process begins, the system may display this warning message if one or more E/Cs were found to have W/O conflicts. After selecting 'OK,' the Mass Authorization is complete.

Scenario 2:

Switch AOVERRWOECTC is set to Yes.

Engineering Switch PENDAUTH must be set to No in order to manually override the conflicting E/Cs. For additional information refer to Switch PENDAUTH, via the Engineering Switches Manual.

Create a Work Order:

Tie Engineering Controls to the Work Order:

Tie the same Engineering Control to a different Work Order:

Create a revision for E/C 'T135-256' and send for authorization.

In the Engineering Authorization Management window, select the Mass Authorization button to begin the process of authorizing all pending E/Cs.

Select the Save button in the Mass Authorization Pending E/Cs and Linked Task Cards window. The system will display a message warning the user that this action will authorize all pending E/Cs.

The system will check each individual E/C and if there is a conflict between an E/C and a Work Order with a status of 'Open' or 'Generation' then the system will display the list of conflicts and allow the user to manually override the Work Order.

The following save prompt is displayed notifying that mass authorization for all pending E/Cs was completed.

Switch Set to No:

When set to No, the system will not automatically override Engineering Controls and Task Cards.

Create a Work Order and tie the existing E/C to the W/O.
