Work Plan Desc field within sub work order is a free text field with option to use "spyglass" for browsing established plans.  Users are bypassing browse function and entering free text to capture desired display of information. This work around prevents the system from linking the sub work order to established work plans and maintenance schedules. Common reason for using free text is to manipulate how the sub work order tab displays (e.g., users want to see plan id). Additionally, the sub work order incorrectly identifies "Work Plan Desc" when populating the field with the work plan name when using the browse function.

 

1) Disable the free text option for entering work plan details within the sub work order and require the use of the browse function. 

2) Edit sub work order's Work Plan Desc field name to display Work Plan Name. 

3) Update sub work order tab to display Work Plan Id and Work Plan Name. Example: Sub WO 8: 25BD HEATER/DEFROSTER

 

Critical to accurately capturing maintenance actions and schedule requirements.
