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

Shop W/O

The Shop Work Order reference number.

Parent W/O

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

Status

The status of the Shop Work Order.

Closed - Shop W/O is closed, no updates allowed.

Open - If Shop W/O is Open, and a rotable is issued and later returned, the system will force the user to do a Work Order Credit, which may not be the correct transaction.

Completed - Shop W/O is completed but not closed, updates are allowed.

Hold - Shop W/O is on Hold, no updates allowed, but not closed.

Line - Shop W/O 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 Shop W/O on the system, some companies prefer to use specific W/O's for this purpose. A Shop W/O could be created for every aircraft turn around but this may cause an unacceptable administrative burden. For the purposes of creating Shop 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 Shop W/O and later returned U/S (if removed at a later time). For additional information, please refer to the Shop W/O closing section regarding closing Line Work Orders.

Generation - Shop W/O is in the process of being created.

Post Completed - When the Post Completed status is set, compliance records are written for E/Cs, P/N E/Cs, P/N Controls, and defects, their repeat schedules reset, and unused material can be returned to stock (RTS) to credit the W/O. This status takes place before the W/O is officially closed.
