Copying a Work Order

If you want to create a work order that is similar to another work order, you can make a copy.

If the work order contains tasks that your organization performs regularly, instead of copying the work order, you might want to create standard tasks and add them to your standards library.

To Copy a Work Order

1.	Open the work order that you want to copy.

2.	From the Work Order menu, select Create, and then Copy. In the confirmation message that appears, click Yes.

APM opens a new work order with the same information and tasks as the original work order, but with a new work order number. APM will not copy historical information from the original work order, such as actual costs and transactions, request information, standard job triggering information, or alarm acknowledgment information.

3.	Make any necessary changes to the new work order. Then you can save, plan, approve, and schedule it as usual.

4.	When you are finished, save and close the work order.
