Add Result to Work Order

Explanation

Use this activity to add the details of a single search result line to a work order of your choice. You can also modify existing operations and tool-and-facility lines of a work order, provided that the search is invoked from the work order (the Prepare Work Order window).

If you perform a combined free time search, you can connect the operation lines to the tool-and-facility lines included in the search result. The connection can also be made if the work order to which the tool-and-facility is to be included contains an operation line (applicable for a Simple Free Time Search).

Prerequisites

• The work order to which you want the details to be added, should be defined in the system.
• If you want to modify operations and tool-and-facility lines of an existing work order, the search should be invoked from the work order and the number of planned men on the operation line should not exceed one.

System Effects

• If you selected Add to Work Order from the right mouse button options, the details of the resources belonging to the result line will be added to the specified work order, as a new operation or tool and facility lines.
• If you selected Modify Work Order from the right mouse button options, the existing operation and tool-and-facility lines of the work order will be modified according to the details of the result line.
• If you chose to connect an operation to a tool-and-facility, the tool-and-facility line of the work order will contain the operation number that is connected to it.
