Work order transfer functions

You can use the Delay tab on the Data -> Shop Activity -> Work Order Center screen to transfer work orders from one shop location to another.

The following actions occur automatically when a work order is transferred.

• Current service status changes to WORK FINISHED

• Shop and user downtime (if running) on the current work order stop

• New work order created for the equipment unit in the transferee shop

• Shop and user downtime start on the new work order

• Descriptive information from the current work order copied to the new work order, including all fields on the Basic Info (except dates and times), More Info, and Comments tabs

• New work order ID inserted in the Reference work order field on the current work order

• Current work order number inserted in the Reference work order field on the new work order

• Priority code (ID) on the new work order (if the transfer is from a mobile shop to an internal shop) changes to the default priority ID for the equipment unit. (Priority codes are specified on the Codes tab of the Data -> Equipment Units -> Fleet Equipment screen.)

• Equipment status of the equipment unit changes from AWAITING TRANSFER - SHOP RESPONSIBILITY or USER RESPONSIBILITY to IN SHOP
