As part of our ongoing effort to improve the work order workflow, we’re introducing the ability to edit operations in In-Progress work orders. We've heard consistent feedback requesting more flexibility in managing work orders to account for human error and real world production changes. This is just the start!
While the work order is in progress, you can now:
- Add or remove job operations
- Add or remove work order operations
Restrictions
- Editing is only allowed when:
- Work order status is: Approved, Scheduled, In Progress, or Needs Review
- Operation status is: Ready, Pending, or Paused
- The work order operation does NOT have a nesting file uploaded
- Editing is NOT allowed when:
- Work order status is: Complete or Cancelled
- Operation status is: Running, Completed, or Cancelled
- A nesting file has been uploaded to the work order operation
Notes on logged data:
- Logged time, picked quantities, and completed quantities are associated with specific job operations, not the work order as a whole.
- If a job operation is removed, the previously logged time and quantities will still remain associated with each job operation.
- If a job operation is added after time or materials have already been logged on the work order, the new job operation won’t inherit any of those logs.
- Newly added job operations will start from their own clean state (e.g., 0 or existing job operation status).
In short: Logged data always belongs to individual job operations, not the work order.
Let us know if you would like to be added to the beta!
