9 Manage My Work Orders Mobile Applications

This chapter discusses these topics:


Important Note:

Before using the mobile applications, Oracle strongly recommends that users have a complete understanding of how to use the associated processes and applications in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne base software.

For additional information about the processes and applications associated with the mobile applications discussed in this chapter, see:


9.1 Manage My Work Orders Mobile Applications Overview

You use the Manage My Work Orders mobile applications to easily review and update work orders assigned to you. You can use filters to search for work orders. For each work order, you can review equipment information, status and priority of the work order, planned start date, planned completion date, actual finish date, and failure description. You can also review the address and location details of the site where you must perform the work order, and use the device's map and navigational features to locate the site.

Two types of Manage My Work Orders applications are available:

  • The Manage My Work Orders mobile applications enable you to manage your work orders while connected to the internet.

  • The Manage My Work Orders Disconnected mobile applications enable you to manage your work orders regardless of whether your have internet connectivity. (You can upload your changes when you are reconnected to the internet.)

This table lists the applications that are available to review and update equipment work orders:

Smartphone application - Disconnected Manage My Work Orders Disconnected (M17016)

To download the application to your smartphone, search on the following text in the application store:

  • JD Edwards My Work Orders Disconnected


9.1.1 Disconnected Updates - Manage My Work Orders Tablet and Smartphone (Release 9.1 Update)

The Manage My Work Orders Disconnected applications enable users to update work orders when they are not connected to the network. All steps for updating your work orders are the same whether you are using the disconnected or the connected applications.

For the disconnected applications, the way in which data is retrieved from, and updated to the EnterpriseOne system is different from the connected applications.

After logging into the application, users must load their mobile device with work order data from the server. This step must be performed while users are connected to the network. They can then remain connected to the network, or they can disconnect, and make changes to their work order records while away from the office. All changes made to the work orders are stored locally on the mobile device.

When the users are done making changes, and are reconnected to the network, they can upload their changes back to the EnterpriseOne server. Users cannot perform the upload when disconnected.

To use the disconnected applications, you must be on JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools release 9.1.5.3 or later and have the version of the Manage My Work Orders mobile application that supports disconnected processing.

Additionally, be aware that logging into a disconnected application might be slightly different than when logging into an application that does not support disconnected mode. See Section 3.1.2, "Logging In When In Disconnected Mode (Release 9.1 Update)"

9.1.2 Barcode Scanning (Release 9.1 Update)

The Manage My Work Orders tablet application (M17020) and the Manage My Work Orders smartphone application (M17010) are designed to scan data from a barcode and populate the work order number and equipment number in the Work Order and Equipment filter fields. To scan barcode data, you can use the native camera on your device or a third-party handheld Bluetooth-enabled scanning device. To use this functionality, you must create barcodes that represent a single field in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system. These applications do not accept barcodes that consist of data for multiple fields.

You can generate barcodes using services such as those offered by Barcodes Inc.


Note:

Oracle is not affiliated with Barcodes, Inc. and does not require or recommend that you use this service to create your barcodes.

9.2 Setting Up the Manage My Work Orders Mobile Applications

Before using the Manage My Work Orders tablet or smartphone applications, you:

  • Set processing options for the Manage My Work Orders mobile applications (M17020, M17026, M17010, and M17016).

  • Set processing options for the Field Service Inquiry program (P48100) to display only those work orders that are assigned to you.

  • Set processing options for the Work Order Inventory Issues program (P31113) to display the recommended issued quantity for all parts, and to process the issue of parts for all records.

  • (Release 9.1 Update) Disable the Bluetooth option in your device's settings if you want to use the native device camera to scan barcodes of work order and equipment. Enable the Bluetooth option if you want to use a Bluetooth-enabled scanning device to scan the barcodes. To scan barcodes using a Bluetooth scanning device, you must configure the scanning device on the mobile device.

    Support for barcode is available only in the Manage My Work Orders tablet (M17020) and the Manage My Work Orders smartphone (M17010) applications.

9.2.1 Setting Processing Options for the Manage My Work Orders Mobile Tablet Applications (M17020 and M17026)

  • Work Order Type: Set this processing option to use equipment work orders.

  • Only Show User's Work Orders: Set this processing option to display only your work orders.


Note:

When you log in to the mobile applications, the system verifies these processing options of the Field Service Inquiry program (P48100) and displays your equipment work orders.

You also set up these processing options for the version of the Work Order Inventory Issues program (P31113) that you specify:

  • Issue Material For: Set this processing option to automatically enter the recommended issued quantity for all parts.

  • Select All Lines for Issue on Entry: Set this processing option to process issue for all records.


Note:

The system uses these processing options of the Work Order Inventory Issues program (P31113) to process and issue parts for the work order.


Note:

Oracle recommends that you use the information provided here to set the processing options for your versions of the Field Service Inquiry program (P48100) and Work Order Inventory Issues program (P31113). If you set the processing options differently, the Manage My Work Orders mobile applications will not work as expected.

9.2.4 Setting Up the Bluetooth Option in the Mobile Device to Scan Barcodes (Release 9.1 Update)

The Work Order and Equipment filters available in the Manage My Work Orders mobile applications enable you to filter work order records by work order and equipment. For the Manage My Work Orders tablet (M17020) and the Manage My Work Orders smartphone (M17010) applications, you have three options to enter data in these filter fields. You can:

  17. If you made a change to a work order, and then do not want that change saved to the database, you can either:

    • Change the value back to the original value, and upload the record when you are connected to the network again.

    • Leave the incorrect value as it is, and when you are connected to the network again, click Get My Work Orders. This will overwrite the changes you made locally with the data from the EnterpriseOne database. If you choose this method, all local changes will be overwritten, including changes to other work orders.

  18. To upload your changes to the EnterpriseOne network, you must first connect to the network. When you are connected, the system enables these buttons:

    • Get My Work Orders
