The Auto Create Line Work Orders button allows a user to set up the default parameters to automate the creation of Line Work Orders for individual aircraft. Users may set up one or multiple Line Work Orders per aircraft. Once the parameters have been set up, Line Work Orders will be created three days before the end of the month via Trax Database Jobs.

The E/C Auto Reschedule functionality also uses the data populate in the Auto Create Line Work Orders window. When a auto-generated Third Party W/O is created due to the compliance of an E/C set up as Auto Schedule, the W/O header defaults the Company, Contract number, and Expenditure as specified in the Auto Create Line Work Orders window.
