Create Work Order for Design Object

Explanation

This activity is used to create a work order for a design object. Work orders can be created for assembly, testing, decommissioning, and dismantling purposes and therefore can be created at any point, after the creation of a design object. For example a pipe system with several fabricated assembly parts or spools, might require the assembly of the spools on the exact location of the plant/facility. Hence a work order is required for the assembly parent, and each spool should be defined as a material requirement of the work order.

This activity can be performed on Design Object Work Preparation page by accessing Create Work Order command. When a work order is created for a design object, it is required to enter mandatory information such as the maintenance organization and work order directive required to register the work order. Optionally, it is possible to select a task template, in order to predefine the additional material and resources needed to carry out the work. If the design object, for which the work order is being created, has additional parts, an assembly structure and/or task template defined, the additional parts, objects in the assembly structure, and materials defined for the task template, will be inherited as material demand for the work order. If a valid project connection exists, the created work order will always be project connected. Based on the project connected to the design object, the Planned Start and Planned Completion Dates of the work order will be set to the Early Start and Finish Dates of the connected activity respectively.

One or more than one design objects can also be selected for creating work orders resulting in multiple work orders, one for each of the selected design objects.

Prerequisites

• If the design object has additional parts defined, the assembly quantity of each additional part should be one or more, to ensure that the additional part will be inherited as material demand for the work order.  
• If the design object has objects defined in its assembly structure, the Exclude from WO option should have been cleared, in order to be inherited as material demand for the work order.

System Effects

• A work order is created for the design object, and can be viewed in the Work Orders tab on the Design Object Work Preparation page. The work order is created with the following details:
   
  • The Work Order Site and Directive fields in the header of the Prepare Work Order page, receive the values that you entered on the corresponding fields when creating the work order for the design object.
  • The value in the Connection Type field on the General tab of the of the Prepare Work Order page, would either be Design Object or Equipment, based on the absence or presence of the design object in the Equipment Register. 
• The resulting work order will consist of materials either from the additional parts of the design object, the design parts of the objects in the assembly structure of the design object, the task template defined when creating the work order, or all of them.
• The resulting work order will consists of work tasks from the task template specified when creating the work order.
• If a valid project connection exists on the design object, the work order will automatically be connected to the project. If no project connection exists and a cost centre is defined on the design object, the cost centre is passed as a pre-posting of the work order.
