Errors and Warnings

The grid area of the Work Order Mass Update form includes a field for warnings and errors. After you process the selected work orders in draft update mode, click the Display Draft Exceptions button to populate the Errors/Warnings Issued field. If a work order has both a warning and an error message, the Errors/Warnings Issued field shows the error. You can also view the report to identify which work orders have error or warning messages, or view information about the records in the Work Center.

You set a processing option in the P48714 program to specify whether the system will update work orders with warning messages when you process the work orders in final update mode. If you set the processing option to enable updates to work orders with warning messages, you can review the draft update records and deselect those that you do not want to process in final update mode. Because a work order might have warning messages due to more than one cause, you should always run the draft update process after correcting conditions that caused the warnings to ensure that you have corrected all conditions that caused the warnings.

The system does not process records for which errors are generated. You can deselect those records, or leave them selected during for the final update. Whether selected or deselected, the system does not update the database for work orders with errors.
