Redwood: Review Maintenance Work Order Costs

You can now review costs for maintenance work orders using the new Redwood page Maintenance Work Order Costs. The Maintenance Work Order Costs page provides a summarized and detail view of the materials, resources, and overheads incurred for a maintenance work order.

On this new page, you can:

• View all work orders for the plants linked to the cost organizations that you've access to.
• View summary information for the work order and drill down to the details of the work order or review the distributions on the Costing Transaction and Distributions page.
• Personalize your view by using the Customize Columns feature.
• Search for work orders and use additional filters to add more context to your search results

The landing page provides a quick summarized view of the costs with an option to add more columns that are hidden by default. You can also use the additional filters to add more context to your search results.

In case your work orders have multiple assets, you can use the link on the Multiple Assets column to see the asset wise cost break down.

If your work order has assets that are completed to inventory, you can view the Input Costs, Output Costs, and Variances recorded for the work order when you navigate from the work order link.
