Work Order Planning/Releasing (tswcs3200m000)

Use this session to plan or to release work orders and their related work order activities.

Work orders are planned when:

  • The work order is accepted in the work load of a shop or a depot.
  • The work order activities for the work order are planned.
  • Required resources are allocated to the work order (activity).

You can release:

  • The work order.
  • The first work order activity. After you release, carry out, and complete the first activity, you can release the next sequential activity.
  • All work order activities. You can release all activity lines in a batch.

If commitment control is implemented, a commitment from Warehousing for the material requirement lines is required in the planning phase. The item must then be received in the shop or depot before the work order and the work order activities are released.

After the work order is released, the shop documents must be printed. If the work order is subcontracted, a purchase order must be created. For each work order activity a corresponding subcontracting resource line is used to create the purchase order line. The additional required items are added to a text and are added to the purchase order text.

A work order can be planned if:

  • The work order status is Free or Planned.
  • The work order is not subcontracted.
  • The work order can originate from a maintenance sales order.

If the maintenance sales order is blocked, the related work order cannot be planned or released.

If the Via Purchase delivery type is used, you must create a purchase order for each material resource line. The delivery time is equal to the earliest start time.

If you have selected another delivery type, allocate the materials to the work order. If commitment control is implemented, a commitment from Warehousing for the material requirement lines is required.

You can also allocate tools and other requirements to the work order.

To recalculate planning times, the work order status must be set to Planned. The activities that are related to the work order are planned. Next, you must check if a subcontracting item is defined for all activities. The item can be defined in the Activity Management module or on the work order. You can create a resource line for each work order activity. You can modify the cost price, which is used when the order is transferred as a purchase price to the Purchase Control module.
