The following information/options are available in this window:
_____________________________________________________________________________________

GSE W/O

The Work Order used to categorize, manage, and schedule work requirements for GSE maintenance. This field is generated automatically once the W/O is created.

• WOSEQ - Work Order Next Sequence Number - The next sequential number for a Work Order. Start number is set at implementation. The Config Number field is used. For more information refer to Switch WOSEQ via the Production Switches Manual.

Warning: It is important to set Customer Orders Switch CUST/ORD at a much higher configuration number than the configuration number of Production Switch WOSEQ to avoid Sales Orders and Work Orders from ever having the same order number. This will prevent inventoried parts from being misallocated.

Authorization icon

Indicates that the Work Order has been authorized.

• WOATHREL - Authorization By Step - When set to Yes, authorization is performed through the W/O Authorization Explorer. When set to No, authorization is completed automatically. For more information refer to Switch WOATHREL via the Production Switches Manual.

Parent W/O

If this Work Order acts as a “child” to a parent Work Order, that parent Work Order should appear here. For more information on how to create parent/child Work Order relationships, please refer to the Change The Parent Work Order button section of the Productions manual.

Status

The Status of the Work Order.

Closed - Work Order is closed, no updates allowed. The Closed status indicates that the W/O Actuals are finalized and the financials are closed. Unused materials cannot be returned to stock to credit the W/O.

Open - The Work Order has been created and authorized (if applicable). The W/O is available for users to action tasks, track man hours, and issue parts while accomplishing tasks attached to the W/O.

Completed - Once all Task Cards attached to the W/O are actioned (closed, deferred, canceled) the W/O status automatically changes from Open to Completed. At this point the W/O is completed but not closed, updates are allowed.

Hold - Work Order is on Hold, no updates allowed, but not closed.

Line - Work Order is for Line Maintenance Issues only (items returned will not require Credit Work Order). Because it is necessary for material to be issued to a Work Order on the system, some companies prefer to use specific Work Order's for this purpose. A Work Order could be created for every aircraft turn around but this may cause an unacceptable administrative burden. For the purposes of creating W/O's with material requirements, it is possible to select the Line status rather than Open status (when creating the new Work Order). The Line status will allow rotable parts to be issued to the Work Order and later returned U/S (if removed at a later time). For additional information, please refer to the Work Order closing section regarding closing Line Work Orders.

Generation - Work Order is in the process of being created and tasks are being attached. No technician or Mechanic will be able to log on to a Task Card until the status is changed to Open.

Note: Planners create Work Order's with the status Generation. Upon completing the Work Order package, the planner should change the status to Open.
