Has anyone ever created a route with multiple equipment and multiple checklists where you would have 1 work order that would report the appropriate history back to the individual equipment with the checklists?
Thank you for your patience. Assuming your organizations have the option to create MEC Work Orders from routes set to YES, then the next step is to update the individual checklist items on the Task. You have the following options:
1) "Equipment Level" field - Route and Equipment --> This repeats the checklist item per equipment on the route and WO header. This also sets the Equipment column (ACK_OBJECT) on the WO checklist lines to the corresponding equipment (instead of the WO header equipment).
2) "Equipment Class" field --> Can be used in combination with option #1, but it only applies the checklist item to equipment with a matching class.
3) "Equipment Catergory" field --> Just like #2, but with Category instead of Class.
We do use the MEC option. However, on the WO, when I set it up with Route and Equipment, the WO will print all the sequence 10s together, then all the 20s, all the 30s, etc. It does not make for a user friendly option since we are using the printed work orders presently to record these checklist readings. I know this will clear up once we can get to tablets, but that is a ways down the road. THANKS
I see, so the main issue is the way that the checklist items are presented on the printed WO report? If so you could look into having the report cloned/customized to contain a new table (or separate page) which lists it the way you need it.
Hi Dale,

Let me know if you have any further questions.
Thank you,
