Understanding Work Order Reports

You can print work order information in a variety of formats to help you manage work orders and work order projects.

You can print cost reports to review the costs associated with work orders, such as estimated and actual hours and costs. You can also review details about the cost transactions that you charge to work orders.

Project management reports help you manage work order projects and schedules. These reports include this information:

• Project phase.

• Managers assigned to a project.

• Messages and remarks that are assigned to work orders.

• Planned and actual hours for work orders.

• Start and end points of a project.

• Sequence of tasks for a project and any waiting time between tasks.

• Status of the work orders in a project.

Number of hours remaining or the number of hours charged over the original estimate for each work order in a project

You can print multiple work orders by using report selection criteria to specify the work orders that you want to print.

To access the Work Order Print program (R48415), select the Work Order Print on the Work Order Processing menu (G4811).

You print work orders when you need a hard copy of a group of work orders. When you print work orders, you use data selections to specify which work orders to print or suppress. You then use processing options to specify the information that you want to print, such as whether to suppress dates associated with information about a work order record type, suppress estimated hours associated with work orders, or print equipment messages associated with a piece of equipment on the work order. In addition, you can enter record types to be printed with a work order. You also can specify whether the system changes the status of the work orders at the same time that it prints them.
