Understanding Work Order Searches

You can use a variety of search criteria to locate work orders in the maintenance organization. You can locate work orders by using Work Order Entry program or Equipment Backlog program. The method that you select depends on the information that you know about the work orders that you want to locate, as well as the tasks that you want to perform after you locate the work orders.

You can complete multiple tasks with a single work order. For example, after you locate a work order, you can access the Work Order Inventory Issues program, which enables you to issue parts to the work order.

You can search for equipment by:

• Company

• Equipment status

• Description

• Responsible business unit

• Location

• Category codes

When you use the backlog, you can quit to these programs:

• Equipment Master

• Location Transfer

• Parent History Inquiry
