When you are about to execute the work on the work order, you need to check if there is to be any parts involved. In this case, create a pick list and issue the required part. Once the part is reserved in inventory, you can print a barcode label for the part. The barcode label will contain information used to identify the purpose of the part, i.e., on which work order and which operation the part is to be used, as well as the barcode that identifies where the part is picked from. The barcode can be scanned by using a barcode reader. Afterwards you can manually set the work order to the Started status. When there are no parts involved, just change the status to Started directly. Now you can perform the work on the work order.
If you are working on the operation level, you can set the status of an operation to On Hold (i.e., when the work is to be performed at a later stage). You can also cancel an invalid operation or you can set the operation to the Started status thereby indicating that work has started. When an operation is started, you can start work directly or use the Clock In/Clock Out functionality when performing the work. When this functionality is used, time reporting on an operation is performed automatically.
During execution of a scheduled maintenance it is possible that a fault is discovered, which needs to be corrected in the ongoing work scope. These type of faults are referred to as non routine faults. Non routine faults must be reported on the work order or operation on which it was discovered. Once the fault is reported, a fault task is created automatically for it and added to the work package (maintenance order) for the ongoing work scope. Non routine functionality is only valid for work orders having the VIM distribution type.
During execution of a scheduled maintenance it is also possible to record condition measurements. Sometimes, the measurements are outside the defined condition limits defined in the Condition Monitoring program. When recording measurements that exceed the condition limits, corrective actions are required. For these measurements, a maintenance task is created automatically and added to the work package (maintenance order) for the ongoing work scope. The condition measurement functionality described here is only valid for work orders having the VIM distribution type.
Once work on an operation is performed and you have clocked out (if using the Clock In/Clock Out functionality), you can set the status of the operation to Work Done. If Executor sign off requirements have been defined on the operation, the sign off will be performed automatically when moving to this status. Note that if license requirements have been defined on a sign off requirement, you must have the necessary licenses to perform the sign off. If sign off requirements have not been defined on the operation, the operation is directly moved to the Finished when setting to work done. Note: When an operation is set to the Work Done status or when sign off is performed on an operation already in the Work Done status, this operation will be set automatically to the Finished status if all the required signatures have been signed off. If the operation is not automatically finished, you can manually set the operation to the Finished status. When an operation is finished it indicates that the work has been accomplished.
