Default Values

The values configured in this section are automatically filled in on the work order form when the user selects the work order type:

  • Maintenance Plan;

  • Priority Level;

  • Workshop.

Work Order Assignment

The system can automatically assign the work order to one or more technicians, according to the following options:

  • Assign to who created the WO: if selected, the work order is automatically assigned to the technician who created it;

  • Assign to WO Responsible: if selected, the work order is automatically assigned to the person responsible;

  • Assign to Workshop Managers: if selected, the work order is assigned to all workshop managers;

  • Assign to Workshop Technicians: if selected, the work order is assigned to all technicians who are not workshop managers.

When assigning, the following rules apply:

  • If the employee is only a workshop manager, they are not assigned to the work order;

  • In assignment, whether automatic or manual, the employee must always be a technician of the work order's workshop.

Costs

This section refers to work order consumptions:

  • Use Average Cost Pricing: if this option is selected, when the work order changes to the first state in which costs can be recorded, an automatic consumption of the parts defined in the Spare Parts section of the asset associated with the work order is performed;

  • Consumption from spare parts: if this option is active, a new consumption report is automatically created with the spare parts defined in the work order's location, equipment or tool. The report is created in the name of the person responsible for the work order and in the first state that allows cost reports.
