> Releasing All PM Work Orders

Release all PM work orders that are close to their generation point.

   The Release all PM work orders before specified date form (WBPEVU) only releases work orders for which the user has update authorization, and it changes the status of the work orders to Released.

If you have specified a dormant period for equipment of date-based PM routines, and the due date for a PM falls within the specified dormant period, Datastream 7i temporarily postpones releasing the work order for the PM during that time.

   Adding a dormant period to PM equipment does not affect any previously created or released PM work orders, and you can manually release them on the Release selected work orders form (WNRELJ).

Follow these steps to release all PM work orders.

  1. Open the Release all PM work orders before specified date form (WBPEVU).

  2. Department, Equipment, PM schedule, PM class, WO type, Location, and Scheduling group—Click to select one or all of these selection parameters for generating the work order batch.

   To release all PM work orders up to the current date, leave End date blank.

  1. Click on the reports toolbar. Datastream 7i generates the PM work orders.
