Print Work Order Structure Report

Explanation

This activity is used to order and print all or part of the scope for a shop visit. With this functionality, maintenance planners or supervisors can select the information that is required to be printed in order to hand out the instructions and/or relevant documents to the technicians who will execute the work. The maintenance technicians can then use the printout(s) to plan the work that is to be done.

In the Work Order Report Control dialog box you can select the work orders, work order operations and connected documents that are to be included in the report printout. You can also select the different types of reports that you want printed. The following table shows the report types that can be ordered and printed as part of the work order structure report:

Report Type Description
Cover sheet Prints a summary of the top work order in the selected work order structure. Includes information on the work order such as the unique identification number, the object for which the work is intended, the maintenance organization that is responsible for the work and the customer for whom the work is to be done. If the work order is created with the VIM connection type, the identity of the vehicle that is connected to the top work order will be displayed in the relevant field. Additionally, the total number of work orders that are included in the work order structure report (i.e., the work orders in the Work Order Report Control/Work Orders tab for which the Include? check box is selected) will be shown in this cover sheet.
Work order index Prints an index of the work orders selected in the Work Orders tab. For each work order, the unique identification number, belonging site, work order directive, the level in the structure where the work order is located, the object for which the work is intended and the status of the work order will be listed. The levels in the work order structure are graphically shown in the report by indenting the work order number (in the WO No field) and adding an empty row for the first level after the top work order. For example:

Level 1 (top work order number, no indentation)
<empty row>
    Level 2
        Level 3
        Level 3
<empty row>          
    Level 2
