Delay |
The Delay tab enables you to view all work delays that have been processed (closed) for an internal rebuild and to record shop delays against internal rebuild work orders.
Tip: If you are performing an update that requires a calendar to calculate hours but the calendar has not been generated for that time period, a warning message appears. You will be allowed to process the update, but the hours will not be calculated properly because the calendar has not been generated. If you receive this warning message, ask your system administrator to generate the calendar.
Tip: To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter. You can sort on work order location ID/year/number, job status, part ID/suffix, current work delay, or work class, among other values. If you specify a cross-reference part ID and the system cannot find it, it searches for and displays the applicable part ID.
You can also use the sort button to arrange the order in which work order IDs are listed. If you do not specify a sort sequence, IDs are listed in descending order by the Date and time in field (specified on the Basic Info tab).
For instructions on how to reverse work delay entries, see Reversing Incorrect Work Delay Entries.
The fields in the top section of this tab define the data that displays.
Work order ID
Identifier of the work order currently selected in the grid or that you are inserting (opening). The work order ID is composed of three parts: the location, year, and number. The location part of the field has a list box.
Job status
Job status of the work order. This field is display only. The job statuses are as follows:
OPEN: The work on the work order has not yet been completed.
WORK FINISHED: Shop personnel have completed the work and placed a check in the Date and time finished field on the Basic Info tab for this work order.
CLOSED: The work order is no longer open.
PENDING: Shop personnel are waiting for the equipment unit to arrive at the shop.
Current work delay
Identifier of the reason for the current work delay, if any, on the work order. The work delay description displays to the right of the ID. This field auto-populates when a work delay ID is entered in the bottom section of the tab.
Part ID
Identifier of the part. Display only from the Basic Info tab.
Part suffix
Suffix associated with the part ID. Display only from the Basic Info tab.
The fields in the bottom section of the tab provide more information about the work delay. Unless otherwise indicated, these fields are optional.
Begin
A check in this field begins a new work delay. You cannot begin a work delay on a work order if a delay is already in progress.
Date and time
Date and time (in MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM format) that the delay began (the system uses a 24-hour clock). When you are setting up a new work delay, the current date and time displays, but you can change it. It must be the current system date and time or earlier.
End
A check in this field stops the work delay time period.
Date and time
Date and time (in MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM format) that the delay ended (the system uses a 24-hour clock). The current date and time displays, but you can change it. It must be the current system date and time or earlier.
Work delay ID
Identifier of the type of work delay. This field has a list box. The work delay description displays to the right of the ID.
Work delay IDs and the types of work orders to which they apply are specified on the Data -> Shop Activity -> Setup -> Work Delay Codes screen.
Comment
Text field in which you can enter comments regarding the delay. Maximum field length is 600 characters.
The screen group in the bottom section of this tab lists closed work delays processed for the work order. All fields are display only. The screen group can display up to 200 rows of information. To view more than 200 rows, use the Queries/Reports -> Query/Report Generator screen to create and run a report that includes the information. You can also use Web Modules Reporting or another reporting tool (such as Microsoft Access) that can attach to the database. Refer to the related documentation for these products.

Elapsed hours
Length of the work delay, to the nearest tenth of an hour. If the end date and time is earlier than the begin date and time, this field displays negative hours.
