Entering calibration results

Enter calibration results for work orders to report calibration data for the actual work performed while calibrating a piece of equipment.

The system copies test point data for equipment to the Calibration page of the Work Orders form for any calibration work order once it is released. See Defining calibration test point data. If you need to enter calibration results for a work order that you did not specify as being a calibration work order, you must manually enter the test point data.

If a work order is a multiple equipment work order, you can also enter calibration test points and data for child equipment on the work order.

The calibration results you enter determine the Calibration Status of the work order, as well as the Status for each test point.

Note: Generate a calibration record report for a work order as necessary before beginning the calibration process. See Calibration record report.

To enter calibration results:

Open the Work Orders form.
Select the work order for which to enter calibration results, and then click the Calibration tab. The system automatically populates Calibration Status with the status of the calibration and S.O.P., P&ID No., Precision, Increment, P&ID Drawing, and Alert Tolerance based on the information entered on theCalibration tab of the equipment record listed on the work order. The system populates Last Calibrated with the completed date for the last calibration work order for the piece of equipment and Calibration Interval with the interval specified on the work order’s PM.
Select the test point for which to enter calibration results. If the calibration work order is released, the system automatically populates Equipment, Sequence, Equipment Org., Test Point, and the unit of measure for the test point based on the test point data entered for the equipment listed on the work order.
Equipment—Choose one of the following options if the work order is a multiple equipment work order:
- Enter All Equipment to create the test point for each of the Related Work Orders associated with all of the equipment records on the Calibration page of the Work Orders form.
  Note: If the work order is a multiple equipment type work order and you click Add Test Point without selecting an existing test point, the system automatically populates Equipment with All Equipment. If you select an existing test point and then click Add Test Pointon a multiple equipment work order, the system populates Equipment, Equipment Description, Equipment Org., Related Work Order, Test Point UOM, Standard UOM, and Output UOM from the selected record.
  If All Equipment is selected for Equipment, then Device Tolerance, Device Reading, and Status are protected, because you cannot distribute these values to all equipment on the work order.
- Enter WO Header Equipment to create the test point for each equipment record on the Calibration page of the Work Order on the work order header.
- Enter a specific Equipment record to create the test point for the Related Work Order associated with the selected Equipment. See Adding Equipment to Work Orders to Distribute Work Order Costs.
Not Applicable—Select to indicate the test point is no longer applicable for the calibration process.
Test Point—Enter the test point value for the calibration, and then enter the unit of measure for the test point in the adjacent field.
Complete steps 7 through 10 in the As Found section of the form to enter the calibration results.
Standard—Enter the standard value for the calibration, and then enter the unit of measure for the standard in the adjacent field.
Device Tolerance—Enter the range of the device tolerance.
Output—Enter the value of the test point output, and then enter the output’s unit of measure in the adjacent field.
Device Reading—Enter the reading of the device.
The system subtracts the Standard from the Device Reading to determine the Deviation. The system automatically populates Status based on the calibration results you enter.
Complete step 11 in the As Left section of the form if recalibration is required.
Note: Click Copy to As Left to copy the data from the As Found section to the As Left section, and then modify the fields as necessary.
Standard, Output, Device Tolerance, and Device Reading—Enter the calibration standard, output, device tolerance, and device reading. The system subtracts the Standard from the Device Reading to determine the Deviation. The system automatically populates Status based on the calibration results you enter.
Click Submit.

Note: To add a new test point, click Add Test Point. The system inserts a new Test Point Details record. Enter data as necessary, and then click Submit.
If you delete a test point for which the test point Equipment is associated with a MEC work order, then the system removes the test point from the Related Work Order.

The system calculates the work order’s calibration status based on the status of each test point. For multiple equipment work orders, the calibration status of the parent work order considers the test points for all of its related work orders.

To run a calibration record report, click Run Calibration Report. See Calibration record report.
