Copy a Work Order to a Planned Work Order
          This document explains how to copy an existing work order including manual changes to a new planned work order (WO).
         
         You can reuse a bill of material including operation elements, prepared for a similar job done before. This is very useful when doing similar jobs many times, and reduces the number of predefined services needed.
Outcome
A new planned WO with operations, operation elements, and materials is created based on the original work order.
Before you start
A work order with similar bill of material exists in 'Work Order. Open' (MOS100) or 'WO Material and Operations. Open' (MOS101).
Follow these steps
- Start (MOS100).
 - Identify the work order that you want to use as a template, select it, and select related option 42='Copy to Planned WO' to access the K panel. On this panel, you have some selections:
            
- Facility
              
- If this is different than the facility in the original WO, a translation of work centers is done through consolidated work center and work center type.
 
 - Service to use
              
- Usually, a generic service is used in this scenario
 
 - WO type
              
- This is retrieved from the service by facility record, and can be overridden.
 
 - Connect to MCO or work scope
              
- You can connect the new planned WO to an existing MCO or line, or let it be automatically created based on WO type settings.
 - If reference order category is 0, the new planned WO can be connected to a work scope.
 
 - Start date
 - Auto release
              
- Select the check box if the planned WO should be released directly.
 
 
 - Facility
              
 - Press Enter.
            
A new planned WO is created based on the work order.
 
Limitations
           There are some limitations to this functionality:
           
         - Related services are not copied. If they are relevant for the new work to be done, they must be copied separately and created as standalone planned WOs.
 - Work order texts from WO header, operations, and operation elements are not copied to the new planned WO.
 - Plant maintenance position services are not supported.
