Re: New Order needs to be created for last open operation in Prev Maint

Hi Swapnali

You may want see if your business is fine  to change the maintenance plans

If you un check the completion requirement check box system will generate the next work order irrespective of the previous work order clouser .

If the above scenarion wount fit your pupose try using Pete Atkin solution with slight modification where

1. The user finishes all operation that they can, and assigns a "Cancelled" or "Deferred" user-status to the remaining operations.
2. The user then TECO's or CLSD's the order
3. A batch program would run during the night to find all work order operations that were in Canceled or Deferred user status  If found, the program then creates a new work order for these operations and links that order to the original work order  maintain the old work order number as reference in location tab sort field which is free text also be seen in IW38 standard report.
