To generate service orders for FCOs

Use this process to generate service order for field change order (FCO).

How to generate Service Order for Field Change Order
Step 1. Sold-to BP

Enter the range of sold-to business partners for which you want to generate service order.

Step 2. FCO

The FCO number for which service order is being generated appears.

Step 3. Line Number

Enter the FCO line number for which service order is generated.

Step 4. Installation Group

Enter installation group for which service order is being generated.

Step 5. FCO Valid on

LN displays the validity of the FCO header. If FCO orders fall between the Earliest Start Time and Latest Finish Time, these FCO Lines are selected to generate service orders.

Step 6. Use Parallel Planning of Activities

If this check box is selected, the service order activities are planned at the same time rather than one after the other.

Step 7. Click Generate

Click Generate to generate the service order.

Service Order

For each FCO line that meets your selection criteria, LN generates a service order.

The generated service orders have the following attributes:

  • Status is Free.
  • Service Type is the value selected in the Service Order Parameters (tssoc0100m000) session.
  • Planned Start Time is the Earliest Start Date that you entered in the Field Change Orders (tssoc5100m000) session.
  • Planned Finish Time is the sum of all the FCOs reference activity durations added to the Planned Start Time.
  • Service department, is copied from the FCO.
  • Subcontractor for the service-order activity lines copied from the FCO.
  • Activity line data is copied from the FCOs reference activities. The number of service order activities generated for the service order equates to the number of reference activities listed for the FCO.

After you generate a service order from an FCO:

  • LN fills the FCO line's Service Order field.
  • When you generate the first service orders for an FCO, the FCO's status changes from Lines Generated to Execution.
Note

LN generates a service order for each serialized item.
