Work Order View
Every work order has a view page showing the order in full — who it is for, what is being made, how much has been issued against it and what it has cost so far. Open one by clicking its reference number in the work order list.
Where to find it
Click a reference in Work Orders, or on the Overview.
Overview of the work order interface
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Reference | The unique reference number of the work order. |
| Date | When the work order was created. |
| Customer | Who the work order was created for. |
| Customer Branch | Their specific branch. |
| Created by | The employee who raised it. |
| Branch | The cost centre or branch the order is registered against. |
| Department | The department responsible. |
Manufactured Details
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Type | The manufacturing process used — Assemble, Advanced Manufacture or Unassemble. |
| Manufactured Item | The item being made, with its model and specification. |
| Into Location | Where the finished product will be stored. |
| Quantity Required | How much is to be produced. |
| Quantity Issued | How much has been issued for production so far. |
| Comment | Notes attached to the order. |
Compare Quantity Required with Quantity Issued first. A large gap on an order that is supposedly in progress means the materials never went out, and the job has not really started.
Requirements and Additional Costs
Two tabs at the foot of the page:
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Requirements | The components the order needs, drawn from the item's BOM, with what has been issued against each. |
| Additional Costs | Labour, overhead and other costs added to the order. See Cost of Work Order. |
