Edit Work Order Process Plan

This page allows you to modify the process plan created for a work order. You can edit the process plan details by entering the work order no or by retrieving it using the help facility provided. On retrieving the work order no, the system retrieves all the details of the work order to the header. You can also view all the activities that are reported with capacity problems in the multiline.

You can modify the details of the activity of the process plan depending on the requirements of the work order. New activities/resources can be added. Existing activities along with the sub-activity times, the overlap percentage or the buffer times can be modified. You can modify only those activities that have not been started. The main resource of the activity can also be changed. You can edit the capacity requirements of the resources. You can also delete the activities that have not been started. The activities/resources to be deleted are selected in the multiline and deleted. Help screen is provided to search and display the activity details. Upon modifying or deleting the necessary details, you can update the changes made to the work order.
