Associating inspection points with work orders

Associate inspection points with a particular work order. Use this feature only when the work order has a system status of Released or Completed and when the inspection route has a status of Unfinished. Finally, enter the results of the inspection into the system after the employee performs the inspection.

To associate inspection points with work orders:

  1. Open the Work Orders form.
  2. Select the work order with which to associate inspection points, and then click the Inspections tab.
  3. Click Add Point.
  4. Point—Enter the point to associate with the work order. The system automatically populates Equipment, equipment description, Equipment Type, Equipment Org., point description, Point Type, Aspect, Method, and the Value unit of measure.
  5. Sequence Number—Enter the sequence number of the inspection point.
  6. Method—Enter the inspection method.
  7. Date—Enter the date of the inspection.
  8. Result—Enter the reliability code for the inspection (this code is also used in regression analysis). Choose one of the following options:
    • The measurement is acceptable—Select Valid.
    • The measurement is wrong—Select Invalid.
    • The inspection point has been changed so drastically that all previous inspection results for this point must be deactivated—Select Discontinuity.
    Note:  If you are entering result details for the work order, you must enter both Date and Result.
  9. Value—Enter the value and unit of measure of the inspection.
  10. Finding—Enter the inspection finding.
  11. Inspected By—Enter the employee by which the inspection was performed.
  12. Location—Enter the location of the inspection.
  13. Standard WO—Enter the standard work order associated with the inspection.
  14. New WO Required—Select to generate a work order based on the inspection results.
  15. Class—Enter the class of the inspection. The system automatically populates Class Org.
  16. Note—Enter any additional notes.
  17. Comments—Enter any additional comments.
    Note: The system automatically selects New WO Required if Value exceeds the upper or lower critical value specified for the aspect point.
  18. If necessary, click Create New WO to generate the work order immediately. However, if the system status of the route is Approved, you cannot create a new work order. You must also select New WO Required to create new work orders. The system creates a new work order based on the details of the work order inspection point and inserts the work order number for Work Order.
    Note: If you do not create a new work order by clicking Create New WO, the system automatically creates a work order after the inspection results are approved.
  19. Click Save Record.
