> Associating Qualifications with Work Order Activities

Associate qualifications of trades and tasks with work order activities to establish the qualifications required for employees performing work. Qualification enforcement is determined by the WOQUAL installation parameter.

When you select a trade and/or a task code for a work order activity, Datastream 7i automatically retrieves any qualifications associated with the selected trade and/or task to the work order activity. You can also associate qualifications directly with the work order activity to enforce additional qualification requirements for the work order activity that are not inherited from the trade or task.

You can either define work order activities on the Work order activities form (WDACTJ) or on the Activities page of the Work orders form (WMJOBS).

Follow these steps to associate qualification with work order activities.

   Datastream 7i selects Removed for any qualifications that are retrieved to the work order activity from a task/trade to indicate that the qualification is to be deleted from the trade record on the Trades form (WNTRAD) or deleted from the task record on the Task form (WNTASK). You can only delete work order activity qualifications inherited from a trade/task for which Removed is selected or that are activity specific.

   Datastream 7i populates Additional Trade qualifications that are not linked on this sub-tab with the number of qualifications associated with the trade selected for the work order activity that are not already linked to the work order activity.

   Datastream 7i populates Additional Task qualifications that are not linked on this sub-tab with the number of qualifications associated with the task selected for the work order activity that are not already linked to the work order activity.
