Editing a Work Order

The Work Order Identification section displays the details of the work order created for an asset. With required permission, you can modify or update a work order in the Work Order Identification section.

Note: The information displayed in the Asset Identification and the Asset Standard Specifications sections is read-only. The asset information can be modified only from the Assets module. For more information about asset information, refer to the Assets chapter.
To edit a work order

1.    Search and view the work order that you want to edit.

2.    In the Work Order Identification section, click Edit Identification.

3.    In the Edit Work Order dialog box, make the changes as desired.

Note:

·       When changing the status of a work order, the Date/Time Out field is updated based on the Clear DateOut? setting as defined in the Setup module. In the Setup > Maintenance > Fields > Work Order Status picklist, the Clear DateOut? setting lets you configure the date out of each work order status. Based on this setting, the date out is updated when the work order status is changed in the Maintenance module.

o      If the Clear DateOut? flag for a work order status is set to Yes, one of the following happens:

  • For Finished and Closed statuses, the Date/Time Out field displays the current date when the work order status is updated.

  • For all the other work order statuses, the Date/Time Out field is cleared out.

  • If the Clear DateOut? flag for a work order status is set to No, the following happens:

  • Retains the date/time out of the old work order status.

·       You can also set a date as required in the Date/Time Out field.

·       While editing a work order, if you clear the Approved Above Threshold check box for an approved work order, an error message Work Order total cost is above the threshold cost so authorization cannot be removed is displayed.

·       If you are using the AD FS Mode - FASTER and AD FS Authentication mode and cannot approve the spending limit, refer to the Note on the Maintenance/TWS Settings page for more information.

·       The ability to authorize Work Order spending on the fly is disabled when the Authentication Provider integration is activated. A person with permission to authorize a Work Order to exceed the spending limit will need to log in to FASTER Web separately to authorize exceeding the spending limit.

4.    Click one of the following:

o      Save and View to save the information and view the work order.

o      Cancel to disregard any changes and close the window.

o      Delete/Obsolete to delete or make the work order obsolete.
