Differences and Limitations: Create Equipment Work Orders

Mobile applications are intended to be a simplified version of the applications that are available in the base software. In most cases, these applications provide a subset of the functionality available in the base software.

Difference in the Search Functionality

The Create Equipment Work Orders mobile application uses your login ID to search for your work orders. After you launch the mobile application, the system displays a list of all your work orders. You can filter work orders from your list.

When you search for work orders in the Work Order Entry program (P48201), you can specify the search criteria across all work orders to which you have access. Therefore, your search results in the mobile application can differ from the search results in the base application.

Difference in the Text Attachment Functionality

The Create Equipment Work Orders mobile application appends new text attachments that you enter to the existing texts attachments. In the mobile application, existing text attachments are read-only, and you cannot edit them. You can review existing attachments in the Notes History field and enter new texts in the New Notes field.

When you enter a new text attachment in the Work Order Revisions program (P17714), you are adding the new text to the existing texts in the text attachment entry field. You can update existing texts.

Language Support

Additionally, you should be aware of how a user's language preference can affect the search functionality for business unit and branch/plant records. See Language Support for Business Unit and Branch Plant Searches.
