Connect Work Order to Project Activity

Explanation

This activity is used to connect a work order to an existing project activity. You will only be able to connect the work orders that do not contain any cost transactions, such as material, tools and facilities, operations and so on.

Prerequisites

• IFS/Project must have been installed along with IFS/Work Order.
• All the necessary basic data required for a work order must be performed in order for the Connect To Activity right mouse button option to be enabled (right-click and point to Project Connections).

System Effects

• The work order will be connected to the specified project activity as a manually connected object. Right-click and click Project Activity Info to view a summary of the project activity.
• The work order will also be updated with the project's pre-posting when the project has been approved, and it will appear as a connection on the Project Info/Connections tab in IFS/Project.
•  If the work order belongs to a structure then the project connection will be performed for all work orders within that structure.
