How You Manage Maintenance Work Order Flexfields

Your Order object is enabled for flexfields, so you can manage additional details of a work definition. Flexfields are defined during the implementation of Oracle Maintenance, but can be further defined once deployed and work orders are created.

The Order object is shared by Oracle Manufacturing and Maintenance. Therefore, any flexfields that are defined are visible in both applications. This includes flexfields for:

  • Work order header

  • Work order operation

  • Work order operation item

  • Work order operation resource

  • Work order operation output

  • Work order operation resource instance

  • Work order operation transactions

  • Work order resource transactions

For these, these are the numbers of additional attribute fields available:

  • Character: 20

  • Number: 10

  • Date: 10

  • Date and Time: 10

You can manage the flexfields in the Additional Information show/hide region of the Edit Work Order page. You can view and edit the field values, including conditional fields guided by a context segment. You can also define, view and update the flexfields using the Maintenance Work Order REST API and File-Based Data Import.

For additional details about flexfields, refer to the Configuring and Extending Applications guide of Oracle Applications Cloud.

Note: When you define flexfields, you can enable them for Business Intelligence. When creating a flexfield segment, select the BI Enabled check box under the Business Intelligence section. When a flexfield is deployed, run the Import Oracle Fusion Data Extensions for Transactional Business Intelligence scheduled process while selecting the CRM parameter check box. This will import the flexfields into Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI).
