Bust Authorization Tab, via W/O Task Card Bust

The W/O Task Card Bust Authorization tab allows a lead technician or supervisor to review W/O Task Card bust requests. Only tasks that have been requested to be busted and are in 'Pending' status will appear in the W/O Task Card Bust Authorization tab. From this tab, the user can either 'Accept' or 'Reject' a bust request. Once the task has been Accepted or Rejected, it will be removed from this window.

Please note that not every W/O Task Card bust request is required to go through this authorization process. The authorization requirement is determined by the Task Priority defined against the scheduled task. For additional information, refer to the Task Priority Transaction Code via the Production Transaction Code Manual.
