Set Operations to follow the status of Work Orders per Site

Explanation

This activity is used to define whether the status of operations on all work orders belonging to a certain site should follow the work order status or not. This is similar to the functionality described in the Set Operations to follow Work Order Status activity, the only difference being that this function affects all work orders for a given site as opposed to a single work order.

Note that when a work order is set to the Released status all connected operations will be set automatically to the Released status regardless of whether the Operations follow Work Order Status check box is selected or not. Furthermore, it will not be possible to select this check box for work orders that are in the Released status or a higher status. Also note that operations do not follow the work order status backwards. For instance, if a work order is moved back to the Released status from Started, the status of the belonging operations will not be changed.

For work orders distributed from IFS/Vehicle Information Management, the Operations follow Work Order Status check box will not be selected by default.

Prerequisites

To perform this activity, the site must be defined.

System Effects

• If this check box is selected for the site, the correct status for the operations belonging to work orders on the site is set automatically based on the status of the work order.
• If this check box is not selected for the site, you need to manually set the status of an operation or perform the Set Operations to follow Work Order Status activity to have it set automatically per work order.

An exception is when setting a work order to the Released status, which will then automatically release all connected operations regardless of the setting in this activity.
