Set Work Order Status to Started

Explanation

This activity is used to change the status of the mobile work order to Started. This status is set when you want to start with your work order, i.e., you have arrived at the location of the work order.

Prerequisites

• The work order should exist on the mobile device running IFS Mobile Work Order.
• The work order should be accepted by the mobile user.
• For automatic work time transaction creation (if this is set up in the security configuration), a default craft should be defined for the employee/mobile user.
• If surveys are to be used in the work order flow, the work order integration should be defined for the survey in IFS Human Resources.

System Effects

• The work order is set to the Started status.
• An automatic work time transaction (if this is set up in the security configuration) is created on the work order.
• If the work order was previously on route, the automatic travel time transaction (if this is set up in the security configuration) is updated on the work order.
• A journal entry is created on the mobile work order for the status change.
