When you define routes, you specify a route option. This
option affects the description that appears on generated work orders,
as well as the number, type, and content of those work orders.
When you specify the Child Work Orders option
or the Work Order Tasks option, the system
uses the following logic to assign a description to the generated
work orders:
- If the route stop has a description, the route description becomes
the work order description.
- If the route stop has no description and it refers to an asset,
the work order description is a concatenation of the asset identifier
and the asset description. If necessary, the concatenated description
is truncated to accommodate the size of the description field.
- If the route stop has no description and it does not refer to
an asset, the work order description is a concatenation of the location
identifier and location description. If necessary, the concatenated
description is truncated to accommodate the size of the description
field.
When you specify the Entries in the Work Order's Multi
Asset, Location, and CI Table option, no description is
generated.
