3. Work Order Relationships

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 Work Order Relationship Definition


This section defines the four types of work order relationships that are supported in Work Order Relationships. These include a Parent and Child relationship, a Work Order end to Work Order start dependency relationship, A Follow-Up Work Order Relationship, and a Cost relationship.

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.

3.1.2 Follow Up Work Order


This type of relationship is used to associate Work Orders together, and can be used for various scenarios. One example is that during the completion of one Work Order, a separate but related maintenance issue is discovered. In this situation, a second Work Order can be created as a Follow Up Work Order. The Follow Up Work Order is created to manage the work of the additional maintenance issue. The Follow Up Work Order can be on the same or different capital asset or rebuildable inventory item. This section highlights the new feature Follow Up Work Orders:
Step No 1&2 1. Create a Work Order in Released Status. 2. Navigate to Responsibility: Maintenance Super User. Query for the Work Order Created in step 1

Step No 3 &4

3.1.3

End to Start Dependency


In this relationship, two or more Work Orders can have a start to completion scheduling dependency relationship. This is similar to the eAM functionality of operational dependencies within a Work Order. In this relationship between two Work Orders, the scheduled start date of the second Work Order cannot be before the scheduled completion date of the prior Work Order. This section highlights the new feature End TO Start Dependency:

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.

Created by Vinay Srinath Oracle Last Updated on 28 October 2006 08:23 PM

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.

Work Order Scheduling


The following scheduling rules apply to the four work order relationships: Parent Child Work Orders Users can create a parent Work Order with child Work Orders. A top-level parent Work Orders scheduled start and completion dates specifies the timeline for its entire child Work Orders. This means that all its child Work Orders must be within its start and end dates. A user can reschedule a top-level parent Work Order and all non-completed and non-firm child Work Orders are automatically rescheduled appropriately. Within a Parent /Child Work Order relationship, a Follow-Up Work Order can be created from either the top level Work Order, or any of the child Work Orders. This follow-up Work Orders start and end dates do not need be within the toplevel Work Orders timeline. End to Start Dependency Users can create Work Orders with scheduling dependency. For example, one Work Orders scheduled start date is dependent on another Work Orders completion If the Work Orders are child Work Orders, the Work Orders must be at the same child level of the same parent work order. Follow-Up Work Order No scheduling rules or Cost relationships are created or required for Follow-Up Work Orders. Cost Relationship No scheduling relationships are required for Work Orders in a Cost relationship.

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.

Created by Vinay Srinath Oracle Last Updated on 28 October 2006 08:23 PM

Work Order Costing


New functionality supports the costing requirements for Parent and Child Work Order Relationships. The new enhancements include the following functionality: Ability to view Work Order cost by parent child Work Order hierarchy Work Order tab provides two sub-tabs: Work Orders and Costs. Through these sub-tabs, new user interface screens enable users to drill down and view parent-child Work Order detail costs. Actual, estimate, and variance costs of a child Work Order costs optionally roll up to its parent Work Order for viewing and reporting. Users can import a scheduling hierarchy to create a cost hierarchy. Subsequently the cost hierarchy can be managed independent of the scheduling hierarchy.

Step No 1&2

1. Create a Work Order. Add an operations and Resource to the same

2. Create a second Work Order. Add an Operation and Resource to the same.

Material Request and Issue Enhancements


Functional enhancements improve the use of the Material Request and Issue processes. These enhancements make the Storeroom functionality more robust and complete: Users can make Partial Issue of allocated materials on a work order. This allows a storeroom user to issue an amount of material to an eAM Work Order in quantities less than the amount allocated on a work order. For example, if the storeroom is short, or the user does not need all of the material allocated, any other amount can be issued to a work order. Within the One-Step Process for Material Request and Issue, users can add material to the work order and then issue the material to the Work Order. Users can also issue materials in quantities less than allocated on the Work Order BOM.

Step No

1. Create a Work Order. Ensure that the Check Box Enable Material Issue Requests is checked. This would ensure the Allocation of the Materials attached, once the work order is released.

2. Add Material To the Work Order by clicking on the Materials Tab. Ensure that there is sufficient On hand for the Material. . Release the Work Order and we will observe that the Allocated quantity has got populated.

1&2

Support for Non Planned Direct Items


New functionality allows Planned Direct Items, to be added to a work order BOM or an Activity BOM. As a pre-cursor, Planned Direct Items must be created in the Item Master as Non-Stockable and Purchasable inventory items. New functionality also allows a purchase requisition to be optionally automatically created for these items when the Work Order is progressed to a released status. When an Activity is associated to a Work Order, any Direct Items on the Activity BOM are also included on the Work Order. Furthermore, direct items can be added to a Work Order prior to a Work Orders Released Status. As a result, these items are included within the Estimate Material Costs of an Activity and Work Order Unplanned direct items (description based only) can also be added to the Work Orders material requirements.

Step No 1&2

1. Create A Direct Item (Non Stock Item). Navigate to Item Master Window, and select the Template Non-Stocked Item.

Preventive Maintenance Enhancements


Preventative Maintenance enhancements enable users to forecast PM work for multiple assets at a time, as well as associate forecasted PM work orders to Oracle Project and Tasks, or Seiban numbers. Users can also implement PM Forecasts directly into a scheduling Hierarchy. The following functionality enhancements are provided: Users can forecast Preventive Maintenance work orders for multiple capital assets or rebuildable inventory. Within the Forecast Work Order Page, users can choose to include the children of capital assets or rebuildable inventory in the forecast of work orders search. Work orders can be associated to an Oracle Project/Task or Seiban number at the time of implementing PM suggestions to work orders. Suppression templates can be defined at the capital assets or rebuildable inventory group/activity association level. When new capital assets or rebuildable inventory items are created in an organization, the corresponding suppressions are automatically associated based on the template associations. A new type of meter called a Change Meter can be used as a counter to track incremental usage.
