This chapter contains the topic:
7.1 Locating Work Orders
From Work Order/Service Billing Processing (G48), choose Work Order Processing
From Work Order Processing (G4811), choose Scheduling Workbench
Within a typical organization, hundreds of work orders might await processing. You can use specific search criteria on the Scheduling Workbench to limit your search for particular work orders. You use the information that you know about specific work orders to narrow your search. For example, you can locate all work orders that share the same criteria, such as:
-
A job or business unit
-
The person who originated the work orders
-
The person who manages or supervises the work to be performed
User defined information that is associated with the work orders, such as category codes, work order types, and so on
Dates associated with the work orders, such as start date and planned completion date
You can use any combination of search criteria to locate work orders with similar characteristics. For example, you can locate all the work orders for a business unit that are assigned to a particular supervisor. You can also locate all the maintenance work orders that are scheduled to start on a particular date. The more information you enter, the more you can narrow your search to a specific work order or group of work orders.
After you locate a work order, you can use the Scheduling Workbench to access a variety of forms and complete multiple tasks with a specific work order. For example, after you locate a work order, you can access Work Order Approval directly from the Scheduling Workbench without having to access additional menus.
To limit your search for specific work orders, complete any combination of the fields in the top portion of the form.
