## How to Create a new Work Request / Work Order

| ### What to do:
| Please note that the work order you are going to create in this example will be used later on in order to replace an item within a BoM!
| Select Start > Change Management > Work Requests. The Work Request mask is opened.
| To change to insert mode click .
| In the Request Id field enter a new work request with the No. EWR-500.
| In the Purpose field enter Modification of Ornamental Ring.
| Entering data in the Description field is optional.
| Change to the Type field and click .
| Choose Change from the selection menu.
| The selection of values for the Urgency, Change Kind and Interchangeability fields are optional. In this example enter the values:
Field name | Value | Description
Urgency | processing recommended | Urgency of the work request
Change Kind | Functional Improvement | Definition for what kind of change process the Work Request was created.
Interchangeability | Not affected | Definition if old and new versions of affected objects are interchangeable and if all objects must be replaced together or if they can be replaced individually.
| Please note that on the Work Order mask there are two additional fields, a Complete and an Internal/External field. These fields are required in conjunction with the STEP AP 214 application data model (ISO 10303-214)!
| To save the entries click .
| A work request for the modification of an existing item has been created. Additionally, a preliminary work order and a work set have been created as well.
| The preliminary work order will become effective when the work request is set to the state 230 | Released.
| Click in the Work Request mask to change the work request to state 230 | Released.
| When trying to save a Work Request without having inserted a Request Id, the system will prompt an error message asking to fill out the mandatory field "Order Id". The "Order Id" refers to the preliminary work order that is automatically created when saving a "Request Id", thus it is required to fill out the "Request Id" field and save this entry as then a preliminary work order with the same Id as the Work Request will be created!
| It is also possible to create a work order without having created a work request before. In this case the preliminary flag of the work order mask will be set to "inactive". If a work request has to be created first is basically subject to company specific processes.
| It is not possible to delete a work order if one or more work sets are still assigned to the work order.
