Enforcing job card order in the workscope

When creating a requirement definition for component maintenance work for which the sub-tasks must be done in a specific order, you select the Enforce Workscope Order option. This ensures that the order of the job cards in the requirement cannot be changed when the requirement is initialized and included in a committed work package.

When you create or revise the requirement definition, you can adjust the order of the job cards included in the requirement, as long as the job card definitions are in the build or revision status, not active.

The order that is enforced is that of the job cards in the requirement in relation to each other. In the component work package that includes the requirement, maintenance planners can add other executable tasks, and move them in the workscope so that they are between the job cards of the requirement, as long as the relative order of the job cards of the requirement is maintained.

On the Work Package Details page, the order of job cards specified in the requirement definition is listed in the Baseline Order column on the Assigned Tasks tab.

Enforcing the order of the job cards in component work packages is particularly useful when each task must be done at different maintenance shops that have different specialties, because it also allows maintenance planners to assign a different location to each job card.
