Work on a Work Order

Work Scheduled to Me

A work order contains one or more work order jobs. Each work order line is a job or task to be completed. The words 'work order job' and 'job' are used to describe the same thing, which is the job or task that must be completed.

On the Work order lists screen, select the list Work scheduled to me.

Note

On all work order lists, there is a Jobs toggle button. You can use this button to switch between showing work order jobs or work orders in the list. The toggle button is automatically activated (yellow button color) when you open a work order list, meaning you see a list of work order jobs (= the tasks you're scheduled to work on). Select the toggle button (changes to white button color) if you want to see a list of work orders.

On the Work scheduled to me list, select the job you're going to work on. In the figure below, you see an example of a work order job. This section, including 11 articles below, describe how to make registrations on the various work order details related to the job.

In the details section at the bottom of the Work order job screen, you may see numbers next to some or all details pages. For example 1, 2, or 4. This is for your information to show you there are, for example, 1 fault registration or 2 checklists related to the job. Regarding consumption registrations (Items, Hours, Expense), the number is shown as, for example 2/1. The first number shows you number of registrations, the second number is number of forecasts related to the job. If you see "0/2" on an Hours details line, it means there no hour registrations but two forecasts on the job.

Note

Depending on the way your company wants to work with work orders and work order jobs, you might not be able to make registrations on all the work order details described in this section.

Update Work Status

Work status is registered on the work order job. Available work status types: Not started - In progress - Waiting - Cancelled - Work completed. Work status is shown in the upper-right corner on the job details screen, for example, "Not started". Select the current work status to open the Change work status pop-up. Select "In progress" when you start working on a job, and select OK. You can also change work status by selecting the 'More' button on the job details screen and Change work status.

Note

A work order status may be related to a state. If that is the case, you'll see a message on the screen when you update work status, informing you that the work order lifecycle state is also updated. If required, you can cancel the update of the state, but not the work status, by selecting Cancel on that message.

If you use work status to show job progress, you don't change state manually on a work order.

State is the work order lifecycle state, which is registered on the work order. The work order should not be updated to a finished or ended state until all work order jobs on the work order have been completed. Like work status on a work order job, State is shown in the upper-right corner on the work order, and you can change the State by selecting it to open the Change state pop-up.

Related Request

If a work order was created from a request, you find the following request information in the associated work order job headers:

• Request - link to the request
• Started by - shows the name of the maintenance worker who created the request. If the request was created by an employee who is not set up as a maintenance worker in Asset managment, this field is not shown.

Responsible Worker

In the header section of a work order or work order job, you see a Responsible worker field. The worker shown in that field is usually not the worker scheduled to do the job. For example, responsible worker could be a supervisor or manager responsible for the work being done and ensuring that the work adheres to specific quality standards.

Depending on the mobile setup, you may be able to edit the Responsible worker field. If you see a pencil icon next to the field, you can edit it as long as the work order is active.

You can edit Responsible worker on a work order or work order job. If you make an update in the field, the work order is updated accordingly.

Refer to the test case below for a step-by-step procedure on how to edit Responsible worker on a work order or work order job.

Purchase Requisitions

Select Purchase requisitions to see the purchase requisitions created for the selected job. You can create purchase requisitons for items required on the work order job, which are not currently in stock.

Note

Before workers can create purchase requisitions on the Mobile Client, you must complete procurement setup in D365FO. Refer to Microsoft documentation for information on how to set up and work with procurement catalogs:

• Procurement catalogs overview
• Create a procurement catalog
• Set up a procurement catalog hierarchy

The extent of procurement catalog setup required depends on how you use D365FO procurement functionality in your company.

When you save a purchase requisition, it is automatically submitted to D365FO > Procurement and sourcing module for further processing. The purchase requisition is related to the same Project ID as the work order. You can't edit or delete a purchase requisition on the Mobile Client after you have saved it, you can only view it.

On the Mobile Client, you can add items to a purchase requisition in two ways:

Add category is used when you don't have the specific item number for the item, or when the item is not part of the regular stock in your company. In this case, you may find the item in an item catalog and add a specific reference or a general description of the item. The description should be precise enough for a procurement officer to create a purchase order for the item.

Add item is used when you know the item number, or you are able to find the item number when you search for the item.

Refer to the two test cases below for step-by-step procedures on how to create a purchase requisition by adding category or item.
