Create New Work Order for Search Result 

Explanation

Use this activity to create a new work order for a search result line. If you perform a Combined Free Time Search you, can connect the operation lines to the tool-and-facility lines included in the search result. The connection can also be made if the work order to which the tool-and-facility is to be included contains an operation line (applicable for a Simple Free Time Search).  

Prerequisites

• Maintenance organizations should be defined in IFS/Basic Data for Maintenance, Organization Basic Data. 
• Employees should be defined in IFS/Enterprise.
• In order to connect the operations to the tools-and-facilities, a combined free time search should be performed involving both an employee and a tool-and-facility, or (if you are performing a simple fee time search) the work order to which the tool-and-facility is to be added should contain an operation line. 

System Effects

• A new work order will be created. The new work order will include details of the search, such as the tool-and-facility and employee details on the relevant tabs. 
• If you chose to connect an operation to a tool-and-facility, the tool-and-facility line of the work order will contain the operation number that is connected to it.
