Recording usage for linked work orders

If the work order you're working with in the InfoViewer is linked to other work orders, you can record usage for those work orders from the current work order.

  1. Load the work order you want into the Work Order InfoViewer.
    You access the Work Order InfoViewer by clicking the Work Order Number or "Open Work Order" link for the work order on any form that shows the link.
  2. Select the Summary tab.
  3. In the Quick Links panel, click Add Resource Usage.
    If the Resource Usage tab is displayed, you can also add resource usage on this tab.
  4. Specify the activity that the usage applies to in the Activity field.
    If you don't specify a different activity, the usage will be recorded for the current work order. To specify an activity, click the popup button to the right of the Activity field. To select a different activity you must click Clear and then Search to show all available activities in the Activities tree. Then click the correct activity in the tree and click Select.
  5. Follow the usual steps for recording resource usage.
  6. Click Add Usage.

    If the current work order is linked to other work orders for the activity you selected, Infor Public Sector shows a dialog box that lists the available work orders. To add the usage to an existing work order, select the correct work order in the Work Orders grid and click Select. You can also click Add above the grid to create a new work order that the usage will be added to.

    If the current work order isn't linked to any work orders for the selected activity, Infor Public Sector shows a dialog box asking if you'd like to add a new work order. Click OK to create the work order. Infor Public Sector will add the resource usage to the new work order, and will also link the new work order to the current work order.

    Infor Public Sector shows resource usage information for all work orders the current work order is linked to on the Linked Usage tab of the InfoViewer.
