Define Work Order Categories – A summary of the activity

A work order is a document, which contains the information required to carry out maintenance activities on equipment or a location and records the actual information of the work done. These work orders can be raised based on any criteria pertaining to the maintenance activities on the equipment. In this activity, you can define the various categories of work orders that can be raised. For example you can define work order categories like “Electrical”, “Mechanical”, “Fabrication” and “General”.

You can define the work order category with a unique code and provide a description and status for it. You can enter a sequence number, which determines the order in which the work order category will be listed wherever work order categories are referred to.

You can also use this activity to modify the work order categories that are already defined. Details such as the description of the work order category, status and sequence number can be modified. The system stores the login ID of the user creating/modifying the work order category and sets the current system date and time as the created/modified date and time respectively.
