Define Master/Duplicate for multiple Work Orders
Explanation
This activity is used to sort the duplicate tasks on work orders in the selected
work order structure.
This is similar to the functionality described in the activity Define
Master/Duplicate
for Work Order, the only difference being that this function defines duplicates
for multiple work orders at the same time.
When the Set WO Structure Master/Duplicate option is used, the system
will navigate through the selected work order and all work orders below in the
structure, and for each occurrence of a duplicate task set the first occurrence
as master and the others as duplicates.
If dependencies are set between involved tasks, the master will be
defined but the duplicate relationships will not be defined.
To perform this activity, open the work order structure in the
Work Order Structure Navigator page and click Set
WO Structure Master/ Duplicate.
Prerequisites
- The work order structure must exist.
- Duplicate tasks must exist on the work orders.
- The work order and belonging work tasks cannot be in either the Work
Done or higher status.
- If duplicates are to be defined manually, a master work task must exist
on the work order.
- Material usage, tool usage or man-hour consumption should not be entered
on the work task(s).
System Effects
- A master work task and a subset of duplicate work tasks are defined for
each work order in the selected structure. You can view information on duplicate
tasks by selecting a master work task and then clicking the Duplicate
Tasks tab.
- Resource and material requirements will be removed from the
duplicate work
tasks.
- For improved visibility, duplicate work tasks will be hidden from some pages
and printouts in the application.
