Define Master and 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 and 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 and 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.
