Defining work order categories

This page allow you to modify the work order categories that are already defined. Tell me more.

Select the “Define Work Order Categories” link under the “EAM Work Order Generation” business component.

The “Define Work Order Categories” page appears.

Enter the following fields in the “Categories” multiline:

Category	The unique identifier for the work order category (Alphanumeric, 30). This field can be a combination of characters and digits and cannot be left blank. Once created, this field cannot be modified.
Desc.	The textual description of the work order category (Alphanumeric, 150).
Status	Use the drop-down list box to set the status of the work order category. The system provides the options: “Active” and “Inactive”. Set the status as “Inactive” to disable the work order category from being accessed in other activities. The system sets the status as “Active”, if you leave the field blank.
Seq. No.	The sequence in which the category should be listed wherever work order category is referred to (Integer). Ensure that the sequence number is a positive integer and is unique to the multiline.
	If you have left the sequence number blank for all the multiline rows, the system rearranges the multiline rows in the alphabetical order of the category and automatically assigns a sequence number to each of them, in multiples of five, when you click the "Submit" pushbutton.

Note: If you have left the sequence number blank for some of the multiline rows, the system arranges those rows in the alphabetical order of the category, and numbers these rows to be the last in the sequence. The system then rearranges the rows in the ascending order of the sequence number and renumbers the rows with multiples of five.

The system fills in the following fields in the multiline:

Last Mod.By	The login ID of the user, who last modified the work order category.
Last Mod. Date	The date on which the work order category was last modified.
Last Mod. Time	The time at which the work order category was last modified.
Created By	The login ID of the user who created the work order category.
Created Date	The date on which the work order category was created.
Created Time	The time at which the work order category was created.

Click the “Submit” pushbutton to create the work order categories or to update the modified details of the work order categories.

Note: The system creates the work order categories and generates the sequence numbers for those rows for which the sequence number has not been specified. In the multiline, the system displays the created and modified date and time, and the login ID of the user who created or modified the work order category.
