Summary
42Q's Work Request Trigger function supports the CMMS application, and provides customization options for manufacturers. Trigger and Customization forms are configured in the system's backend.
This feature allows users to complete the details of a work request directly in the Work Request module. Each Work Request Design is unique to the plant and the Work Requests the plant requires.
Customized Work Request Form: A Use Case
Plant ABC experiences many requests for part returns. The plant can set a customized Work Request form so that the Process Engineer can quickly specify which parts must be returned at the same time s/he requests the Work Order.
Work Request Category: Return Parts
Selection Options: PN, Part Name, Sub Inventory, Locator, Qty, Qty UOM
The Customized Work Request form allows Plant ABC's Process Engineer to define the exact type of part that needs to be returned, at the same time s/he requests the work. The system will then assign a corresponding work order according to the predefined approval paths.
To create and complete a customized Work Request, users must move between several portals. Steps are outlined below.
Customized Work Request Form Steps:
- Define the Work Request Category
- Manage the Work Request
- Run Work Request Report
Define Work Request Category
The Work Request Category module allows users to define the Work Request Category, including WR Category Name, Approval path and Approval groups.
- Navigate to: Shop Floor Control > CMMS - Admin.
- Select the WR Category ICON.
