 Selecting Operations for a Task List

Use

You can use different functions for selecting and ordering operations in task lists. This ensures that the operations, which you use based on your choice of task lists, represent the work steps to be executed in your company and their sequence as closely as possible.

Note Note

You can also organize operations into sub-operations, in order to plan in greater detail.

In general, you only define the default values once in the system. Therefore, it is important that you orient yourself towards the usual procedure used within your company for selecting and including task lists and operations.

If you do not activate any default values, the task list selected by you for the order is immediately copied completely, unchanged into the order.

Key Features

The following functions are also available as defaults:

Operation Selection

If this default value is active, the system displays a dialog box after you have selected the required task list. You can now select the task list operations you require to be copied into the order.

Note Note

You can only generate orders with included task lists by batch input if the Operation selection indicator is switched off and you select the task list.

For more information about batch input in Plant Maintenance, see the documentation for the program RIIBIP00.

End of the note.

Work Center Selection

If this default value is active, the system displays a dialog box after you have selected the required task list. Here you have a choice of all the work centers contained in the task list. After you have selected those required, the system only provides those operations that should be executed by the selected work center.

Note Note

  • You can only use this default value in conjunction with the function Operation selection.

  • If a sub-operation should be executed by the selected work center, but the accompanying lower-level operation by a different work center, then both operations are displayed.

  • You can also use this default value to change the work center for certain operations when selecting task list operations for an order.

End of the note.

Renumbering

If this default value is active, the system assigns an unbroken series of new numbers to the operations, after you have selected the required task list. The gap between the individual numbers corresponds to the increments you specified.

Note Note

You use this default value in particular if you copy several task lists for an order using the operation selection and the highest possible operation number might be overwritten.

End of the note.

One-Time Complete Inclusion

If this default value is active, a task list selected by you can only be included once in the same order.

Note Note

  • In combination with the function Operation selection, this default value ensures that for each task list selection the system only offers those operations that have not yet been included in the order you are currently processing.

  • The operations of the second and every subsequent selection are placed in the order behind the previously selected operations.

End of the note.

Operation Sorting

If this default value is active, when the same task list is selected several times for an order, the operations you select are copied into the order in such a way that they remain in the same sequence as in the task list.

Note Note

It is only advisable to use this default value if the functions Operation selection and One-time complete inclusion have also been selected.

The default value Renumbering must not be selected.
