Generating shutdown work orders

Generate shutdown work orders, directly from the Project form, if the nature of your project requires that you take equipment out of service. A shutdown work order is no different than any other work order with the exception that you create shutdown work orders in the Project form and specify a shutdown identification code for the project.

After creating shutdown work orders, you can view them in the List View tab of the Work Order form. Newly created shutdown work orders contain a system status of Released or the equivalent to that system status based on your system configuration.

Note: The project status must be approved and a shutdown identification code must be specified in Shutdown to create shutdown work orders.

See Defining Shutdown Codes.

Before creating a shutdown work order, you must associate the budget code of a shutdown work order with the project on the Budgets tab of the Project form.

See Associating Predefined Budget Codes with Projects.

Select Work > Projects > Projects.
Select the project for which to generate shutdown work orders, and then click the Record View tab.
ClickCreate Shutdown WOs.

Note: You may only create shutdown work orders for a project once. If Shutdown WOs is any number other than 0, you will not be allowed to create shutdown work orders.
