Assigning child work orders to standard work orders

First define standard work order headers, and then define child standard work orders. You can only define child work orders if you selected Template on the standard work order header. If you define child work orders using a standard work order template, the system automatically creates a work order for each child assigned to the template.

You can also set up child work orders to change the status of a work order depending on another work order, and you can calculate the requested start and end dates for each work order when the new work order is created from the template.

To assign child work orders to standard work orders:

  1. Select Work > WO Planning > Standard WOs.
  2. Select the standard work order for which to define children, and then click the Children tab.
  3. Click Add Child Standard WO.
  4. Specify this information:
