Transfer Work Order to the Mobile Device
Explanation
This activity is used to transfer a separate or route work order to IFS
Mobile Work Order. You can choose to transfer the work order to a particular
mobile user or to all users belonging to the work order site. When a work order
is transferred to a common pool of work orders, the user who first accepts the
work order will be considered the owner of the work order. The work order
will be transferred (or once accepted, removed from the pool) during
synchronization between the mobile device and the server.
There can be a need to assign the work order to one user and certain
operations on the work order to one or more different users. For such instances,
the ID of the user should be entered in the Executed By field on the
operation line before performing the transfer. These work orders will be
transferred to the mobile device of the relevant user during synchronization and will
have the Allocated status. The mobile users will have limited access
to performing changes on allocated work order.
Note: If the work order is scheduled by the 360 Scheduling Engine, it
will not be possible to transfer the work order to the pool. In this instance,
the Pool Work Order check box will be disabled.
Prerequisites
- Work orders should be created with the relevant information under
IFS/Work Order Management.
- The employee should be defined. This employee should be set up as a
mobile user.
System Effects
- The transferred work order will be displayed in the
Transferred Work Orders
window.
- The status of the transferred work order is set to Assigned.
- The Transferred to Mobile check box is selected on the
Active Work Orders,
Active Routes, Prepare Work Order,
Report In Work Order and
Report In
Route windows.
- Depending on your selection, the work order will be transferred during
synchronization to the mobile device of the assignee or to mobile devices of all users belonging to the work
order site.
- Once transferred, only a limited number of actions can be performed on
the same work order in IFS/Work Order Management. For instance, it is possible to add new
operations, material and tools-and-facilities, but it is not possible to
edit existing records or perform status changes on the work order.
- The Executed By field on the work order is set to the person ID
of the mobile user to whom the work order was transferred.
