Generating work orders from PM dealer letters
The rules used to generate work orders from PM dealer letters are:
-
A work order is not created if the unit/PM already exists on an open work order line.
-
One new work order is created for each unit. If there are multiple PMs found for the unit, they will all be attached to the same work order.
-
Work orders are only generated when the user requesting the PM letters is defined as a sublet-only or sublet-and-regular type of user; if the user is only allowed to create regular work orders, no work order will be automatically generated.
The characteristics of the newly generated work order are:
-
Based on the business parameter Date For PM Letter WO, the work order open date will be either the system date or the PM due date. If using PM due date and it happens to be zero or in the past, the system date will be used instead; back-dated work orders will not be created. Future dates are allowed as work order open dates; however, if the business parameter Close Sublet PMs is set to At Time of Assignment, a future date will not be allowed.
-
The work order will be created in the unit's assigned facility. The department will default to the first department found for that facility.
-
The associated sublet will be generated against the vendor of the PM letter.
-
The work order line will not be exploded into any sub-activities as happens when activities are entered manually through a work order.
-
If there happen to be multiple PMs being placed onto the same work order for the same vendor, Enrich will attempt to put them on the same sublet purchase order.
-
If no back-to-back or menu pricing is found, the default sublet amount will be .01.
-
If the PM being printed is on a work order, and B2B is not found, it will get the cost from the sublet line, not the menu pricing, in case the user has overridden the sublet cost.
If the work order has a future open date, you will not be allowed to close any work order lines until the date has been corrected.
