Enter Job Work Order Scopes

Once you have entered the work order header information (in SM Work Orders), you can then enter work order scopes.

The system automatically adds a single work order sequence (scope) for you once you save the header. You can either fill out the remainder of the information at the time the scope is added or at a later time.
  1. In the Scope section of the form, use the Seq field to do one of the following:
    • If you are entering information for an auto-added work order scope, skip to the next step.
    • If manually adding a work order scope, enter N or +.

  3. In the Priority field, enter Low , Med , or High to indicate the priority of the work order or press F4 to select the priority.
