Concepts Tasks Settings Adding a Work Order from the Work Backlog You can make schedule entries using work orders that are in your work backlog. These are work orders that have planned tasks but are not yet scheduled. When you add a work order to a schedule, APM adds all of its open tasks to the schedule. APM creates a new schedule entry for each task that is added. If a work order task has already been included on the current schedule, APM warns you before the task is added again. If there are already timecard entries for any work order task (the work for the task has been started), APM uses the estimated time remaining entries on the timecards to create the schedule entry. To Add a Work Order to a Schedule from the Work Backlog 1. Open the schedule. 2. On the Worksheet view, select the Backlog tab, and then the Work Orders tab. Four tables appear: • A list of backlog work orders that are ready to be scheduled. Only work orders that have tasks for the schedule's maintenance groups are included in the list.( ) • Requirements for the selected backlog task. Only tasks for the schedule's maintenance groups are included in the list. ( ) • Scheduled task entries that are currently on the schedule. ( ) • A list of Requirements for the selected schedule entry task. ( ) Tip: You can filter and sort the list of work orders, to quickly find a work order in the backlog. 3. Drag and drop a work order from the backlog table ( ) onto the schedule entries table ( ), to add each of the work order's tasks to the schedule.
