Work Order Action Menu — Create Linked WO
Use the Create Linked WO link on the Action Menu when work must be performed by more than one Repair Center. Since a work order can be assigned to only one Repair Center, create a linked work order when the original repair center has completed its part.
When you click the Create Linked WO link, WebTMA transfers basic information about the work to the new work order. This is similar to making a copy of the work order, but the new work order is linked to the original. If you have designated a Status in Lookups for Linked WO, WebTMA adds that status to the new work order. If no status is marked as the default, the new work order retains the status of the previous work order.
When the new linked work order is saved, WebTMA automatically marks the original work order as Closed.
A Linked WO field on the More Info Subtab shows the original work order number. In addition, the Linked WO Tab displays a history with details of the original work order. Since more than one link can be created, the Linked WO Tab includes all previous linked work orders listed in the order they were linked.
In View mode, Create Linked WO is available in the following circumstances:
