Redwood: Group Work Orders to Perform Mass Actions

It's a common requirement for manufacturers to manage their work orders by linking or grouping them together for a specific purpose and action, such as changing to a specific status in the lifecycle of the work orders. This grouping can be based on product similarities or a production stage, such as making work in process into final product.

Using a new Redwood page, REST API, or Functional Setup Manager (FSM) task, you can now create and associate a group to multiple work orders to facilitate searching and taking a common action on them. A work order group helps organize related work orders, so that you can manage and track them together. When work order groups are used in conjunction with managing work orders using the Redwood pages, you can take mass actions on a work order group, including reschedule, release, release and pick, cancel, put on hold, and close.

Add Work Orders to a Group

In the Manage Work Orders Redwood page, you can add a group name during work order creation, update the group name, search work orders using a group name, and perform mass actions.

File-Based Data Import (FBDI) Changes:

The FBDI for the Discrete Work Order Import has been enhanced to capture the work order group name for the work order. A new attribute, Group, is added to the existing Work Order Headers sheet. Also, the FBDI for the Process Work Orders Import has been enhanced to capture the work order group name for the work order. A new attribute, Group, is added to the existing Work Order Headers sheet.

Application Development Framework desktop integrator (ADFdi) Changes:

ADFdi for work orders is enhanced to capture the work order group name. A new attribute, Group, is added to the existing Work Order Headers sheet.

REST API Changes:

You can create a work order group using the workOrderGroups REST API and add work orders to the group using the WorkOrderGroupDetail REST API. You can also add or update the group name to the discrete work order using the workOrders REST API and perform similar actions in the process work order using the processWorkOrders REST API.

Work order groups enable the following:

• Facilitates the way that manufacturers want to manage work orders, based on the physical product or process.
• Centralized management of related work orders.
• Faster search and filtering by Group Name across work order pages.

Steps to Enable

Tips And Considerations

• You must create work order groups and add work orders to them before you can search work orders and take mass actions by group using the Work Orders page in the Redwood user experience. Refer to the 25C feature Redwood: Create and Edit Work Orders Using a New User Experience for more information.
• The Work Order Groups task is accessible from the following:
  • Redwood Work Execution landing page
  • Functional Setup Manager (FSM)
