Adding a Similar Repair

  • If multiple Labor Standards are set for the repair , then the Time Standard is set to Labor Standard and the Labor Standard Hours value will be null.
  • If the Labor Standard is not set for the repair, the system will check if Average Labor Time setting is enabled and calculate the average time. If the Labor Standard is not set, and Average Labor Time is disabled, then the Time Standard and Hours are  set to null..
  1. Select the appropriate information or click the Back- Change Component button.

  1. Answer the TWSWeb Message that will display asking whether the previous task was completed.

You will then see the Work Order Repair screen for the new repair.
