The Task Card Work button allows the user to process (complete, defer, cancel, etc.) a GSE Work Order's Task Cards by utilizing the buttons within this window.

From the GSE Work Order window, select the Task Card Work button to access the W/O Task Card window. Notice all of the Task Cards (including Non-Routines) associated with the Work Order appear here.

Select the record to view/edit the related data.

Note: When Production Switch WOTCITEMCL is set to Yes, users can close individual Task Card Items through the T/C Work function. When a Task Card is selected in the W/O Task Card window, the W/O Task Card Item Close window appears allowing users to close individual Task Cards before proceeding. When set to No, individual Task Card Items cannot be closed through the T/C Work function. For more information refer to Switch WOTCITEMCL via the Production Switches Manual.

The purpose of the window is to assign the stage that the Task Card is at with regard to its completion. The status can be changed via the Status drop-list or other data entered as required:

The Task Card information is primarily changed via Engineering/Update/Task Card. However, specific details can be changed via this Work Order Task Card window (Weight and Balance, and Corrosion data can be entered on the Optional Tab). The Closing of the Task Cards will result in the Completion of the Work Order.

The following information/options are available in this window:

Description

The description of the Task Card.

Status drop down

The current status of the Task Card. The status of the Task Card is helpful in determining the stage the Task Card is at with regard to it's completion. Ultimately, the completion of the Task Cards will result in the closing of the Work Order.

Note: When a W/O Task Card with an associated Engineering Control is reset, its W/O Task Card Status cannot be changed.

Cancel - The Cancel status is used if the Task Card must remain in the system but is not to be used. The system will not automatically Cancel Task Cards under any circumstances. If the user would like the Task Card to be completely removed from the system, the Task Card must be deleted using the Delete button (Engineering/Update/Task Card). The Cancel status will not prevent the Work Order from being closed, but the Work Order will have to be closed manually if any associated Task Cards hold the Cancel status.

If a Task Card is canceled that is linked to a child E/C, the child E/C will be overridden to its own schedule for one time only tracking. Compliance will be written to the Parent E/C. A message that explain this functionality will pop up before being able to cancel a Task Card linked to a Child E/C.

Closed - The Task Card has been completed. Once all associated Task Cards are closed, the Work Order will automatically change to Complete. To change the status of the Task Card to Open after the Work Order has been closed, you must change the Completion date of the Work Order to the date the Task Card is being re-opened or change the Scheduled Start date (on this window) to the completion date of the Work Order.

Defer - The Task Card has been deferred. The user will be asked to re-schedule and provide a reason for deferral. Any P/N lists associated with the Task Card will also be carried over to the Deferral.

Note: When a Task Card Status that is 'Cancel' or 'Defer' is changed to 'Open' or 'Closed,' a prompt will appear indicating that the associated E/C Function(s) will be set to 'Reset' and asking the user whether or not to continue with the action. This change can be seen through the Engineering Control button of the Work Order detail window.

Note: If a Task Card Status is changed to 'Defer,' a prompt will appear asking whether or not the work should be rescheduled. If the user selects No, the system will simply change the status. If the user would like to re-schedule the Task Card for another time, select Yes. If Yes is selected, the Defect window will be displayed. The text and Defer Reason will be copied from the Task Card into the Defect window. The Defer tab can be selected to enter the parameters required as to when the Task Card is deferred until. Select the Requisition button (after saving the defect), to create a requisition for the deferral. Here, the user can either associate an existing Requisition or create a new one.

Delayed - The Task Card has been deferred. The user will be asked to re-schedule and provide a reason for deferral. Any P/N lists associated with the Task Card will also be carried over to the Deferral.

Hold - The Task Card is on hold if it is postponed from being closed. The status must be changed out of Hold in order for the Work Order to be closed.

On Condition - The Task Card status cannot be changed to the On Condition status via the Task Card Work button. This status is defined via Engineering/ Update/Task Card. Please refer to the Engineering Manual for additional information if required. When printing from the Work Order Pack Print, the On Condition Task Cards will not be printed. Work Orders can be closed even if On Condition Task Cards are not completed. When the Task Card is placed on a Work Order, and the Work Order is closed, the On Condition Task Cards will be automatically deleted.

Open - The Task Card is in 'Open' status. This is the most common status of a Task Card.
