Crew Scheduling Search Criteria

Field or Control Description

Crew Business Unit

Select the work order business unit associated with a crew. The system searches for work order tasks associated with this selected business unit for unscheduled work orders, and for labor requirements associated with this business unit value for scheduled and carryover work orders. This is a required field.

Crew Shop

Select the shop to which this crew is assigned. The system searches for this selected shop value in work order tasks associated with this shop for unscheduled work orders, and searches for this selected shop value in the labor requirements for scheduled and carryover work orders. This is a required field.

Crew

Select a crew associated with the crew business unit and shop. The system searches for work order tasks that have the selected crew value in the Preferred Crew field of a task for unscheduled work orders. It searches for this selected crew value in the Crew field of a task's labor requirements for scheduled and carryover work order tasks. This is a required field.

View Tasks without Crew

Select this check box to search for and display any unscheduled work orders with tasks that do not have a default value in the Preferred Crew field of a work order task.

Scheduling Status

Select:

  • Unscheduled

    Select this option to search for work order labor requirements in which crews are not yet assigned. The selected schedule period is not included in the search criteria because unscheduled work orders are not yet assigned to a period.

  • Carryover Work

    Select this option to search for all work orders with labor requirements tasks that have unfinished work

    Note: Unfinished work refers to crew assignments for which the completed date is blank and carryover hours exist.

  • Review Entire Crew Schedule

    Select this option to work in conjunction with the values in the business unit, shop, crew, and period fields to display all work orders that are scheduled to the specified crew. It has a complete view of the scheduled work prior to confirming the work, which enables you to verify all of the schedules, including those that you might otherwise have missed.

    Note: When you select this value, all other search criteria other than those mentioned above are disabled and contain their default values.

  • Scheduled

    Select this option to search for work orders that are assigned a crew. The crew schedule status of the rows that appear can be Unplanned, Scheduled, or Schedule Confirmed.

Schedule Period

Select one of these periods:

  • Previous Period

    This period immediately precedes the current period.

  • Current Period

    This period is determined by the current date (today's date), which must fall within the period's start and end dates.

  • Next Period

    This period immediately follows the current period.

  • Following Period

    This period follows the Next Period.

  • Specific Period

    Selecting this option enables you to enter a specific period start date.

The previous, next, and following period options depend on the period that the system identifies as the current period for the crew. If the system does not identify the current period, you can only select a specific period.

Craft

Select a craft to display labor requirements associated with this specific craft.

Work Order Search Criteria

The fields in this group box are common to all work orders and work order tasks. Select the criteria to narrow your search for specific work orders. If you specify a shop, the system searches for the shop specified in the work order header information.
