2. Introduction
Overview Following are the features that are new with 11i10
Work Order Relationships Work Order Scheduling Gantt Chart Work Order Costing Material Request and Issue Enhancements Support for Non-Planned Direct Items Work Request Enhancements Preventive Maintenance (PM) Enhancements
New features enable users to effectively manage complex maintenance jobs through four types of Work Order relationships. These relationships are Parent Child (scheduling), End to Start Dependency (scheduling), Follow Up, and Cost Relationships.
3.1.1 Parent Child Relationship Parent-Child Work Orders represent a network of Work Orders, which includes one top level Work Order that defines the timeline of all its children (also known as sub or minor) Work Orders. In a Parent-Child relationship, the start and end dates of the children Work Orders must be within the start and end dates of the parent Work Order. Within a network, a child Work Order can be also be parent to another Work Order within the network. One parent can have multiple children, but one child can only have one direct single parent. Child Work Orders can have optional scheduling dependency relationships among other sibling Work Orders, at the same child level. Dependency among child Work Orders enables users to schedule work with a sequential dependency.

This section highlights the new feature Parent Child Relationship in Work Orders:
Step No 1&2 1. Create a Work Order. Added a Resource so that the duration taken to complete the Work Order is 1 hour. 2. Navigate to Responsibility: Maintenance Super User Query the Work Order created.
Step No 3& 4
Page 6 of 51
Step No 5&6
5. Click the GO Button besides the Create Child Work Order LOV Create a Child Work Order.
Step No 7&8
7. Added an Operation and Resource to the Child Work Order so that it takes 0.5 hours.
8. Now if we see the Relationship the Child Work Order would show the time taken in the Gantt Chart
Page 7 of 51
Step No 9 & 10
Step No
11. Now Navigate to Responsibility: Enterprise Asset Management. If we try to Complete the Parent Work Order when the Child Work Order is still in Released state the Below Error would come up stating to complete the Child Work Order first.
11 & 12
Page 8 of 51
Step No 13
13. Now if we try and complete the Parent Work Order, the Work Order gets completed and the message does not appear. This was an example where we can see the Parent Child Relationship in Action.
Step No 14
14. The Relationships Tab also redirects the user to the Self Service page for the definition of the Work Order Relationships.
Page 9 of 51
Step No 3 &4
3. Choose Create Followup Work Order from the LOV and click GO
Page 10 of 51
Step No
6. If we see the Follow Up Work Order is there in the Work Relationships tab in the work order.
5&6
Step No 7&8
8. The Work Order gets completed. This is independent of scheduling or cost relationships.

3.1.3
Step No 1&2
1. Create a Work Order. Add a Resource so that the duration taken to complete the Work Order is 1 hour.
2. Create a second Work Order. Add a Resource so that the duration taken to complete the Work Order is 1 hour.
Page 12 of 51
Step No
3. Create a third Work Order. Add a Resource so that the duration taken to complete the Work Order is 1 hour. Make sure that the Start Date of this Work Order is equal to the Completion Date of the Work order WO96897.
4. Query the first Work Order WO96896 and click on Relationships. This would open up in the self-service window in the Work Relationships tab. Click on Update Work Hierarchy to add the other 2 work orders created as Child WO.
3& 4
Step No 5&6
5. Select the Work Order and Choose Add Existing Work Orders from the LOV and click on GO.
6.Give the Work Order Number WO96897 and click on GO. The Work Order gets queried up.
Page 13 of 51
Step No 7&8
7. Select the Work Order and click on Apply. The Work Order gets added as a Child Work Order.
8. Do the same for the other work order also, so that it gets added up as a child work order to the same parent Work Order.
Step No 9 & 10
9. Select the Child Work Order WO96897 and Click on GO besides the Update Dependencies.
10. Click on Add Dependencies and query for the other Child Work Order WO96898. Choose Next from the Dependency Type LOV and click on Apply.
Page 14 of 51
Step No
11. You get the confirmation that the dependency has been created.
12. If we again select the same work order and choose Update Dependencies, we can see that the Schedule Status is Valid. If we select the WO96898 we can see the dependency type as Prior.
11 & 12
Step No
13. Release all the Work Orders. Try Completing the third Work Order WO96898; you get an error as this work order cannot be Completed as there is a end to start scheduling relationship between this work order and WO96897.
13
With this relationship, the nextWork Order cannot start until the prior Work Order is completed. Work Orders scheduled start date is dependent on anotherWork Orders completion.

Gantt chart
The Gantt chart enhancements support eAM work order relationships functional requirements: The Gantt chart can graphically display eAM Work Orders, including displaying dependency and parent child relationships. Manual mode is supported within the Gantt chart for Work Order Relationships. In the Gantt chart in manual mode, if a top-level Work Order is rescheduled all its non-completed, non-firm Work Orders, are re-scheduled appropriately. If we observe below we created a Work Order WO96896 and defined 2 other work orders WO96897 and WO96898 as Child Work Orders. The Gantt chart shows the same in a graphical way.
Page 17 of 51
The Gantt chart supports visual display of the End to Start Dependency relationships. If we observe there is an End to Start Dependency between the Work Orders WO96897 and WO96898. The same is shown in Relation is shown as Next Dependency in the relationships table.

Step No 1&2
2. Create a second Work Order. Add an Operation and Resource to the same.
Page 19 of 51
Step No 3& 4
3. Perform Resource Transactions for the First Work Order WO92700 by navigating to the Resource Transactions form.
4. If we check the Costs for this work order we can see the labor cost as a results of the Resouce Transactions.
Step No
5. Create a Parent Child Relationship between the 2 work orders created. This has already been discussed before in the Parent Child relationship section 3.1.1. After the relationship is created it will look like below.
6.Perform the Rsource Transactions for the second Work Order WO92701 by navigating to Resource Transactions form.
5&6
Page 20 of 51
Step No 7&8
7. If we check the Costs for this work order we can see the labor cost whihch is as a result of the Resouce Transactions.
8. Click on Relationships tab for the parent Work Order WO92700. Click on View Costs Button.
Step No
9. The page with the Work Order Cost Details for both the Parent and Child work Orders gets displayed. Ensure that the Include Child Work Order Field is set to YES. We can also Observe the Cumulative Actual Cost is showing the total cost for both the work orders. Thus the Actual and Estimated costs of the Child Work Order are rolled up to the Parent Work Order.
10. Now to Import the Scheduling Hierarchy to create a Cost Hierarchy. Click on Update Alternate Cost Hierarchy button.
9 & 10
Page 21 of 51

Step No 13
13. Now if we check the Work Relationships tab for the Work Order WO92700, we can see a additional line in the Relationships showing the Relation as Cost Child.
Subsequently the cost hierarchy can be managed independent of the scheduling hierarchy.
