Define Master/Slave for multiple Work Orders

Explanation

This activity is used to sort the duplicate operations on work orders in the selected work order structure.

This is similar to the functionality described in the activity Define Master/Slave for Work Order, the only difference being that this function defines duplicates for multiple work orders at the same time.

When the Set WO Structure Master/Slave option is used, the system will navigate through the selected work order and all work orders below in the structure, and for each occurrence of a duplicate operation set the first occurrence as master and set the others as slaves.

Prerequisites

• The ELS work order structure must exist.
• Duplicate operations must exist on the work orders.
• The work order and belonging operations cannot be in either the Work Done or Finished status.
• If duplicates are to be defined manually, a master operation must exist on the work order.
• Material usage, tools and/or facility usage or man-hour consumption should not be entered on the operation(s).

System Effects

• A master operation and a subset of slave operations are defined for each work order in the selected structure.
• Resource and material requirements will be removed from the slave operations.
• For improved visibility, slave operations will be hidden from some windows and printouts in the application.
