Service execution process
Service execution is the step in the Service Lifecycle Management (SLM) process that follows the
planning and scheduling of service work. The basis for service work is the work order, and there are two
ways in Teamcenter you can create one:

• Automatically
The maintenance planner must first define the service plan in Service Planner. The maintenance
scheduler generates a service schedule in Service Scheduler by selecting the appropriate
requirements from the service plan, to generate the job cards and job task in the work order. Once the
work order is approved, the maintenance scheduler starts the schedule and assigns the service
technician to begin the maintenance work.

Service Execution, Teamcenter 13.0 PLM00174 13.0 5


© 2020 Siemens
Note:
The SLM Automated Scheduling template must be installed to provide this capability.

6 PLM00174 13.0 Service Execution, Teamcenter 13.0


© 2020 Siemens
• Manually
The maintenance scheduler manually creates the work order in Service Scheduler without the need
for a service plan. Once the work order is created, the scheduler creates the associated job cards, job
tasks, and characteristics, as well as defines the resources. Similarly to the automatically generated
work order, once the work order is approved, the maintenance scheduler starts the schedule and
assigns the service technician to begin the maintenance work.

The service technician then executes the service work using either Service Work Instructions (Service
Work Instructions) on Active Workspace or the rich client where the information needed to complete the
work is located. The service technician records the service data, such as characteristics found, parts
removed and installed, and discrepancies noted.

The maintenance scheduler can evaluate the work performed by the service technician and closes the
maintenance action.

1. Developing your service plan
Defining the service plan

Setting up and managing service plans

As a service planner, you create and manage the service plans related to the neutral parts.

Service plans contain information such as the service requirements, frequency of service, and service
activities that contain information about:

• The service to be performed.

• When the service should be performed.

• How the service should be performed.

• The resources that are required to perform the service.

You create service partitions to group together service requirements within a service plan.

What is a service plan?

A service plan is related to a neutral part and is the high-level container for the service partitions that
group together service requirements. A root partition is automatically created when you create the
service plan.

You can create multiple service plans for a neutral part.

The following figure shows an example of a turbo-engine assembly that contains multiple service plans.
The service partitions group together all the service requirements for the turbocharger assembly.

What is a service partition?

A service partition is the hierarchical grouping of service requirements. A service plan has only one root
service partition, but the root service partition can have many service partitions. You can also nest
service partitions by creating service partitions under another service partition.

The following figure shows an example of a service plan for a turbo-engine assembly that contains
nested partitions to group together the bearing housing assembly and turbine housing assembly
requirements for the turbocharger subassembly.

Defining service requirements

Setting up and managing service requirements

As a service planner, you create and manage the service requirements that are part of the service plan.
Service requirements determine what service must be performed. They define the maintenance that can
be performed on a part or assembly. Service requirements are grouped under service partitions.

1-6 PLM00174 13.0 Service Execution, Teamcenter 13.0


© 2020 Siemens
What is a service requirement?

You create and manage service requirements by:

• Creating the service requirements.

• Creating service frequencies that determine the interval or period for performing maintenance.

• Creating required skills that determine who should perform or sign off on the service requirement.

• Assigning the neutral part occurrences that are impacted by the service requirement.

• Defining service requirement relationship dependencies.

What is a service requirement?

A service requirement is the maintenance requirement for an assembly or part. Service requirements are
grouped together under service partitions.

You can perform the following actions on service requirements:

• Assign states to a service requirement.


You can assign the following states to a service requirement by submitting it to an approval workflow:

• in-work

• approved

• deprecated

Service Execution, Teamcenter 13.0 PLM00174 13.0 1-7

1. Developing your service plan

• Revise service requirements to create new revisions.


You can revise service requirements to create new revisions. If a work card is related to a service
requirement, those relations are carried forward when the new revision of the service requirement is
created. Only the latest approved service requirement is part of the active service plan.

• Use options and variants to configure a service requirement.

Example:
You may want to setup a variant to indicate whether the service requirements are war time or
peace time requirements.

The following figure shows an example of a turbo-engine assembly that has multiple service
requirements for the bearing housing subassembly. The service requirements include inspecting and
replacing the right turbine blade that is a component of the bearing housing assembly. The service
requirements for the bearing housing subassembly are grouped together under the service partition for
the turbocharger assembly requirements.

Assigning impacted part occurrences to a service requirement

You can assign impacted neutral part occurrences to service requirements to identify the impacted parts.
The impacted part represents the part or assembly that is most directly impacted by the service
requirement. If there is no relationship created between a neutral part occurrence and a service
requirement, the impacted part is assumed to be the neutral part related to the parent service plan.

When you assign a neutral part occurrence to a service requirement, the Occurrence Type for the
neutral part is set to MEAssign.

What is a service requirement frequency?

The frequency for a service requirement defines the interval or period for performing the maintenance.
It defines when the service needs to be performed.

Example:
You can create a frequency that specifies an inspection maintenance requirement be performed
every two months.

As the following figure shows, frequencies are associated to the service requirement with a Has
Frequencies relationship. After creating the frequency for a service requirement, the Occurrence Type
for the frequency is set to Has Frequency.

1-12 PLM00174 13.0 Service Execution, Teamcenter 13.0


© 2020 Siemens
What is a service requirement frequency?

You create a frequency by defining an expression. The expression can be made up of keywords and
characteristic definitions. The evaluation of the frequency expression always returns a Boolean.

A frequency expression may contain more than one phrase using phrase separators such as AND or OR.

Keywords indicate whether a frequency is threshold or repetitive.

Example:
You use the keyword At to define that maintenance has to be performed at a specific date only.
You use the keyword Every to define that maintenance has to be performed every three days.

The characteristics values that are available to use in the frequency expression are determined by the
following:

• Any life, observation, or date characteristics related to the neutral parts assigned to the service
requirement with the MEAssign relationship are available as valid characteristics to use in the
frequency expression.

• Any life, observation, or date characteristics related to the neutral part assigned to the parent service
plan are available as valid characteristics to use in the frequency expression. This is only true if there
are no assigned or impacted parts assigned to the service requirement with the MEAssign
relationship.

Example:
You defined a life characteristic to record the engine hours for a turbo-engine. The turbo-engine is
assigned to a service requirement for inspection. You use engine hours in the frequency
expression to perform the inspection requirement every one thousand engine hours.

The system provides the following options in addition to any life, observation, or date characteristics:

• Calendar
Used for adding calendar time to the expression.

requirements.

The following relations can be defined:

• Requires
This relation is used when one service requirement requires another service requirement.

Example:
You created a service requirement to change the oil every month in a service plan for a truck.
Another service requirement in the same service plan is defined to replace the oil filter which is

As a service planner, you create and manage the work cards that are related to service requirements.
Work cards define how you will address the service requirement.

You create and manage work cards by:

• Creating work cards that are related to service requirements.

• Sequencing work cards.

• Assigning resources to work cards such as:

• Required skills for a work card that determine who performs or signs off the work card.

• Part movements for a work card.

• Expendable materials to a work card.

What is a work card?

A work card defines how to accomplish a service requirement. The work card contains information
about the tasks, effort, and cost estimates and the resources required to perform the tasks. You can
create multiple work cards for a service requirement to define the tasks. You can optionally assign
activities to the work card to break down the tasks. If there are no activities, all the tasks are performed
at the work card level.

You can perform the following actions on work cards:

• Assign states to a work card.


You can assign states to a work card by submitting it to an approval workflow. A work card can be
assigned the following states:

• in-work

• approved

• deprecated

• Revise work cards to create new revisions.

• Define the revision effectivity for a work card.

• Use options and variants to configure a work card.


For example, you may want to set an option or variant to distinguish work cards that are war time or
peace time work cards for a service plan assigned to a missile.

The following figure shows an example of a bearing housing assembly for a turbo-engine that has a
service requirement to replace the rear turbine blade. Work cards are created to:

• Disassemble the turbine blade and other components of the bearing housing assembly that are in
close proximity to the blade.

Defining work zones

What is a work zone?

A work zone helps you scope data from a very large structure to a more manageable structure that
contains only those objects that you currently need for your work. Work zones are implemented with
occurrence groups on neutral parts and related to a work card. If you use the service plan to generate a
service schedule, the zone information is carried over to the schedule job cards. You cannot assign a
zone to an activity, and zones do not appear on job tasks.

Introduction to occurrence groups

Occurrence groups help you scope data from a very large structure to a more manageable structure that
contains only those objects that you currently need for your work. If you have a very large structure, for
example, you can create subsets of this structure in occurrence groups that are tailored to the needs of
different departments.

An occurrence group structure is attached to the main structure (the base view) and can only hold
occurrences from that structure. An occurrence under an occurrence group is the same occurrence as in
the main structure. Making changes in the occurrence group structure is the same as making these
changes in the main structure. You can think of an occurrence group as holding shortcuts to the
occurrences in the main structure. You can have multiple shortcuts to the same occurrence, that is, you
can assign the same occurrence to multiple occurrence groups. You can create multiple occurrence
group structures, each one holding a different list of occurrence groups and a different list of
occurrences from the main structure.

Note:
You can create incremental change information about occurrence groups and their content
(children). However, configuring the view to show or hide configured changes does not work for
this information. Only incremental change information that is common with the base view (in the
item structure) is filtered.

Create an occurrence group

1. Select a line in the base view.

them into the new occurrence group or use copy and paste.

Note:
Open the structure twice to be able to have both the root structure and the occurrence group
visible at the same time.

Creating supporting information


You can relate supporting information such as data items and documents to a work order, job card, or a
job task. Supporting information is reference information used to document details on how the work
can be performed. The References relation is used to relate the supporting information to the work
order, job card, or job task.

If you are assigned to review any work orders, job cards, or job tasks, you can access all the supporting
information related to these objects and the parent objects, if applicable, from your work list.

Defining data to collect

What is a characteristic definition?

A characteristic definition is used to collect and record information during maintenance. You can create
characteristic definitions that contain information such as how many hours a part has been used, the
date the asset was put into commission, or the operating temperature of the part.

You can create characteristic definitions that define life, date, and observation characteristics. You can
also create derived characteristics which are characteristics values that are calculated by the system
based on formulas or expressions. Only life and observation characteristics can be defined as derived
characteristics by specifying the evaluation expression.

The characteristic definitions can be assigned to the following objects:

• Neutral parts

• Work cards

• Activities

Create a life characteristic

A life characteristic defines the individual characteristics that measure the life of a part.

Example:
You can track the number of landings for an aircraft using a life characteristic. When the number

Create a derived characteristic

Derived characteristic values are calculated by the system based on formulas or expressions. You can use
existing life or observation characteristics when you define the formula for the derived characteristic.

Example:
An aircraft engine can have different life characteristics, such as in-flight usage and number of
landings, while in use. The actual life of the engine is a combination of these values based on
some predefined formulas. You can define a formula to calculate the derived life characteristic
value based on the two base life characteristic values that you provide. The derived life
characteristic value can then be used for calculating maintenance schedules.

1. From the navigation pane, click Service Planner.

2. Create a new life or observation characteristic and enter information in the required fields.

Note:
If you want to use a life or observation characteristic in the formula for the derived
characteristic, you must create those characteristics before defining the derived
characteristic.

2. Generating your service schedule
Creating a service schedule automatically
You can create a service schedule automatically in Service Scheduler based on the plan, requirements,
or discrepancies you already have. The schedule can be generated from:

• Service requirements in a service plan


A service plan, created in Service Planner, can contain partitions, service requirements, work cards,
and activities. Service requirements determine what service can be performed. They define the
maintenance that can be performed on a part or assembly. You can select requirements and
automatically schedule the service to complete them.

• The service schedule job cards are created from the work cards on the service requirement.

• The service schedule job tasks are created from the plan activities.

• Additional data from the plan is copied to the schedule, such as required skills, characteristics, and
activity duration.

• Service discrepancies
Service discrepancies, created in Service Manager, are irregularities or observations that are
discovered with regard to maintenance of assets or physical parts. Discrepancies can also identify if
there was a failure with the physical part.
You can select discrepancies, relate them to requirements, and create a schedule to fix them.

• Maintenance actions
Maintenance actions, created in Service Scheduler, define the required work for an asset and one of
its child physical parts. They track the required maintenance to completion and show compliance of
the completed work. You can create them from service requirements or service discrepancies. They
can also be automatically created when a service schedule is created from service requirements in a
service plan or service discrepancies.

When a service schedule is generated, you can specify an existing work order to attach the schedule to,
add the job cards and job tasks to, or create a new work order for it.

Note:
The MRO Automated Scheduling template must be installed to provide this capability.

work card to the schedule job card.

• Characteristics, hazard notes, resources (such as tools and expendables), attachments, and
required deliverables are copied from the plan work card and activity to the schedule job card
and job task.

• Required skills and qualifications on the plan work card and activity are copied to the schedule
job card and job task and are used to validate task assignments. The skills are listed as disciplines
in the schedule.

• Zone information is copied to the schedule job card. You cannot assign work zones to an activity,
and zones do not appear on job tasks.

• Part movements are copied to the schedule job card or job task from the plan work card.

3. Preparing the service work
Defining the scheduled service work
As the maintenance planner, you define the scheduled service work to be performed on the physical
assets.

You define the scheduled work by:

• Creating work orders


Work orders define the scope of service work needed to be performed on physical assets.

• Creating job cards


Job cards define the service actions that are performed by a service technician on a physical asset to
fulfill the work order.

Service Execution, Teamcenter 13.0 PLM00174 13.0 3-1


© 2020 Siemens
3. Preparing the service work

• Creating job tasks


Job tasks define the service action steps that are performed by a service technician to complete the
parent job card or parent job task.

• Creating characteristic definitions


Characteristic definitions record information for physical parts, job cards, or job tasks during
maintenance.

• Defining qualifications
Qualifications define the skills, certificates, training, or other aspects of a user’s capability to perform
the service work.

• Creating supporting information


You can relate supporting information such as data items and documents to a work order, job card, or
a job task.

Note:
The physical assets must be generated from as-maintained structures using Service Manager.

Creating work orders and assigning participants

What is a work order?

There are two components of the scope of work, the work order and the schedule.

• Work order
A work order defines the scope of service work needed to be performed on a physical asset or assets.
You create job cards and job tasks related to the work order to define the scope of work required to
complete the work order. In addition, you must identify the affected physical assets that are serviced
by the work order and the physical location where the work is performed. You can relate more than
one physical asset to a work order. Optionally, you can identify a customer contact and customer
location that is associated to the work order.
A work order contains the following three states that define the status, degree of completion, and the
business decisions during the service scheduling:

• Closure

• Maturity

• Disposition

You design your workflow process to dictate how these work order states progress and transition from
one value to the next. You assign participants to a work order to represent each of the roles used by
the workflow.

3-2 PLM00174 13.0 Service Execution, Teamcenter 13.0


© 2020 Siemens
What is a work order?

• Schedule
When you create a work order, you create an associated schedule. When you create the schedule, you
define a start date and finish date for the entire schedule. The start date and finish dates for the
related job cards you create must fall within the schedule range.
The schedule task related to the work order contains the following summary properties that are used
to track the job cards and their job tasks:

• Actual Start Date

• Actual Finish Date

• Duration

• Work Estimate

• Work Complete

• Work Complete Percent

When you initially create the work order, the Status property of the schedule task is set to Not Started
indicating the start action has not yet occurred. When you update the Work Complete or Work
Complete Percent properties on the related job card or job task, the start action occurs and sets the
Status to In Progress and sets the Actual Start Date to the date when the start action occurred.

Note:
The start actions on a schedule task do not affect the Closure, Maturity, or Disposition states of
the work order.

Example:
A robot’s gripper has poor traction and is dropping items. You create a work order and schedule to
upgrade the robot.

Assigning participants to a work order

The workflow administrator creates the workflows to approve, cancel, reopen, or close service requests
and requested activities. User roles are defined in the workflow to assign specific tasks. These roles
represent different types of users that are involved in various phases of the review and approval process.
For any given work order, you can assign different participants to each of the roles used by the
workflow. Those participants are used only in the review and approval process for that specific work
order.

The following roles are used for reviewing and approving work orders.

Creating job cards and job tasks

What is a job card?

A job card defines a service action that is performed by a service technician on a physical asset to fulfill
the work order. In order to fulfill the work order, you can create multiple job cards to perform specific
service actions on the physical asset. Job cards are related to the work order schedule.

The job card uses the physical asset defined for the related work order. If the work order has multiple
physical assets, you are required to choose the physical asset for the job card. You can optionally specify
the impacted physical part that is affected by the service action. If you do not specify an impacted part,

3-16 PLM00174 13.0 Service Execution, Teamcenter 13.0


© 2020 Siemens
What is a job card?

the impacted part is assumed to be the top level parent of the physical asset. If you do specify an
impacted part, the impacted part must be a child of the physical asset defined for the work order.

Example:
You create a job card to upgrade the compressor for a robot because the robot’s gripper has poor
traction and is dropping items. The job card is related to the work order schedule for upgrading
the robot.

When you initially create the job card, the Status property of the job card is set to Not Started indicating
the start action has not yet occurred. When you update the Work Complete or Work Complete Percent
properties on the job card or related job tasks, the start action occurs and sets the Status to In Progress
and sets the Actual Start Date to the date when the start action occurred.

When you create multiple job cards, you sequence the job cards in the order they need to be
implemented within the work order.

When you submit the job card to a customized workflow, the activity execution types define the action
the that is required to complete the job card. There are two activity execution types available when you
create the job card:

Note:
These values are defined by the Smr0ActivityExecutionType LOV.

Optimizing job cards

Sequencing job cards

You can sequence job cards by:

• Creating task dependencies


You can create task dependencies between two tasks to link their required order of completion. If two
tasks must occur in a certain order, you can create start-to-start, start-to-finish, finish-to-start, and
finish-to-finish dependencies between them to ensure their correct sequencing.

• Creating task constraints


You can use constraints to force a shift in the schedule honoring the constraint type. The constraint
type is indicated by a red marker on the Gantt chart task bar.

Sequence job tasks

You can sequence job tasks by:

Approving and implementing the scheduled service work
As the service technician, you implement the scheduled service work to perform the maintenance.

You approve and implement the scheduled service work by:

• Approving the work orders


You normally approve the work orders before implementing the related job cards and job tasks.

• Implementing tasks using workflows


You can submit job cards and job tasks to a workflow process to perform, review or approve the
service action.

• Managing part requests

Service Execution, Teamcenter 13.0 PLM00174 13.0 4-1

4. Approving the work order and scheduling the work

You create part requests related to work orders, job cards, or job tasks to identify a neutral part that a
service technician requires or wants to use as part of the service implementation.

• Issuing and returning parts


You issue physical parts to a work order, job card, or job task to make the parts available for part
movements. You return the physical parts for resources not consumed during implementation or
parts removed as part of a part movement.

• Managing part movement


You create part movements that identify parts to be uninstalled, installed, or replaced within the
affected physical asset as a result of a job card or job task.

• Setting up upgrade job cards


You define upgrade job cards to specifically handle upgrades by identifying a different neutral
configuration assigned to the impacted part related to the job card.

• Updating the physical configuration


You update the physical configuration on a job card or job task to implement part movements or
rebase the impacted part for an upgrade job card.

• Managing reported discrepancies


You create discrepancies to identify irregularities or observations that are discovered for the physical
asset during the implementation of the related work order, job card, or job task.

• Tracking utilization
You record and track information based on life, observation, and date characteristic definitions
assigned to job cards, job tasks, or physical assets.

Approving the work orders


You normally approve work orders before executing the related job cards and job tasks. You can
approve, cancel, reject, reopen, or close the work order by using a change states workflow that is
defined and configured by your workflow administrator. The work order change states define the status,
degree of completion, and the business decisions during the service scheduling and implementation
process. When you add participants to specific roles in the workflow, those users are responsible for
completing their assigned tasks defined in the workflow process.

The following diagram illustrates the standard approval and closure process that a work order uses.

Implementing tasks using workflows

Implementing tasks using workflows


You can submit job cards and job tasks to a customized workflow process to perform, review or approve
the service action. In addition, you can configure job cards or job tasks so that when certain conditions
are met, the associated workflows are initiated. The triggering rules or conditions create a workflow
process. If there are updates to the workflow process tasks, a notification is sent to the task so that the
task can be updated.

Note:
A task refers to a job card or job task.

Add workflow task notifications for a task


1. Select a task from the task table.

2. Right-click and choose Workflow Task.


The Workflow Rule Configuration dialog box appears and displays the Workflow Trigger and
Workflow Template boxes.
The default workflow trigger is No workflow trigger and the default workflow template is No

• Scheduled start date (the scheduled start date has arrived)

• Both scheduled start date and predecessors complete (both of the above)

• Either scheduled start date or predecessors complete (either of the above)

4. Select a workflow in the Workflow Template dialog box.

Note:
If the selected workflow template contains an interactive task, for example, Do Task, Review
Task, or Signoff Task, the task to be performed appears in the user's Inbox. If no interactive

5. Click OK.

If a schedule is unpublished or is a template, workflow triggers are not processed. Therefore, the
workflows are not processed and the workflows do not appear in the user's Inbox. Only schedules that
are published and are not templates start workflows.

Note:
If you change the finish date of a workflow, the schedule task finish date is no longer changed.
Instead, the workflow sends an e-mail to the schedule owner about the workflow slipping. The
owner can then decide if the schedule should be changed. The In Progress and Complete status
updates are still automatically updated.

Request and issue parts

What is a part request?

A part request identifies a neutral part that a technician requires or wants to use as part of the service
implementation. You can relate part requests to work orders, job cards, or job tasks.

Example:
A job card to inspect a robot’s wheel assembly was performed and a tire tread was found to be
worn. You create a part request for a new tire tread for the robot’s wheel.

As the following figure shows, you can optionally relate the following to a part request:

• An existing neutral item


The neutral item must be a valid SLM neutral item defined by the IsMRONeutralType business
constant.

• The saved query criteria for a neutral item


You can save the query criteria for a neutral item that does not exist at the time the part request was
created, but may be created at a later date.

Service Execution, Teamcenter 13.0 PLM00174 13.0 5-1

• Issue parts against the part request


You can issue physical parts against the part request for a work order, job card, or job task. The part
request must be related to a neutral item in order to issue parts against the part request. When you
create the part request, you specify the quantity of parts needed. The number of issued parts cannot
exceed this value.

• Validate a part request


You can validate part requests to check if there is a neutral item related to the part request with the
Requested Part relation. If none exists, you have the option of searching for and relating an existing
neutral item.

• Close a part request


You can close part requests if you do not want to issue the quantity of parts requested.

• Cancel a part request

What is part movement?

Recording part removal and installation

What is part movement?

Part movement is a record of each physical part that is installed, replaced, or uninstalled as a result of a
job card or job task. Each installation or uninstallation of a physical part must have a unique part
movement record.

You can only create part movements for job cards and job tasks with no children.

The SSS0AllowsJobActivityReferences condition set in Business Modeler IDE determines whether you
can relate a part movement to a job or job task. By default, the Status property for the job card or job
task must be set to any of the following:

• Not Started

• In Progress

• Late

• Needs Attention

To ensure the correct physical configuration for the job card or job task is used, you cannot add part
movements to a job card or job task for:

• Job cards or job tasks that have assigned characteristic values.

• Job cards that are upgraded.

You can create the following types of part movements.

Type of Part Movement Description

Uninstall An uninstall part movement uninstalls a physical part from


the physical structure.

Install An install part movement installs an existing or new


physical part into the physical structure.

Replace A replace part movement uninstalls a part from a physical


structure and installs an existing or new replacement
physical part into the physical structure.

When you create a part movement to install or replace a physical part, you can choose the physical part
to install by:

The list of issued physical parts is populated by the parts that are issued at the level of the job activity
being performed or by the parts issued to the parents of the active activity.

• Searching for an existing physical part in the same location as the physical asset related to the job
card or job task.

• Selecting the Is New option to create a new physical part.


If the Is New option is set to a value of true, you can specify an existing neutral part to be used as the
basis for a new physical part.

Part movements can be categorized as traceable or untraceable. Traceable part movements are
necessary for parts that affect the physical structure. The changes to the physical structure from a
traceable part movement are not applied until the parent service event is approved. Untraceable part
movements capture only the part number and serial number of the physical part and are used for parts
that do not affect the physical structure, such as a filter change.

After you create the part movements, they are displayed in the summary pane under the Parts tab for
the associated job card or job task.

To implement the part movements, you must update the physical configuration. You can update the
physical configuration manually or submit the update through a customized workflow for approval.

Creating discrepancies

What are discrepancies?

Discrepancies are irregularities or observations that are discovered for the physical asset during the
implementation of the related work order, job card, or job task. Discrepancies can also identify if there
was a failure with the physical part. A reported discrepancy can also contain fault information about the
part. This fault information, or fault code, is an identifier that indicates an itemized fault or problem that
a manufacturer has identified with a part. Physical parts can also report fault codes as a result of internal
diagnostics.

You relate a work order, job card, or job task to a service discrepancy to identify that the work order
addresses the service discrepancy. The related work order, job card, or job task is identified as the
corrective action for the service discrepancy. On completion of a work order or job card or job task, the
discrepancy related by the corrective action relationship is also completed.

child job tasks.

The following properties for the summary tasks are dependent on their child tasks:

• Start date
The start date for the schedule task, parent job card, or job task is set to the earliest start date of its
child tasks.

• Finish date
The finish date for the schedule task, parent job card, or job task is set to the latest finish date of its
child tasks.

• Work Estimate
The total estimated work for the schedule task, parent job card, or job task is rolled up from its child
tasks.

• Status
The status for the schedule task, parent job card, or job task is dependent on its child tasks.

• Work Complete
The total estimated work for the schedule task, parent job card, or job task is rolled up from its child
