SH-A  Edit WO Start/Finish/Due Dates

Purpose of Program

Use this program to change work order Start Dates, Finish Dates, or Due Dates.  This program is used when many date changes need to be made, and is faster than changing dates through WO-A  Enter Work Orders.  The program's auto-entry mode lets you advance through your open work orders in succession without having to enter a work order number each time.

If you are using finite scheduling, do not waste time changing the Finish Date because it changes each time SH-E  Finite Scheduling is run.

General Program Operation

The initial screen allows you to filter which work orders will be listed in the next screen's list window.  If you enter a Start Date, only work orders with a Start Date beyond the one entered will display. Status Codes and Priority Codes are marked with X, meaning that they will be included in the list.  If you want to exclude any of these, clear the X with your space bar.

When you finish entering the last field or after clicking the Go button, you are presented with a list of work orders in a window.  Highlight the work order you wish to change and click on it or click the Edit button.

The work orders date fields, along with some header information, are presented below the list window.  Make changes to the Start Date, Finish Date, or Due Date as required.

When you finish entering one work order, the next work order in succession comes into the entry area.  This is the auto-entry mode feature.  If you wish to disable this, click on the Disable Auto-Entry Mode button.  If you do so, once your entry is completed you are returned to the list window where you can select another work order.

Continue selecting work orders and making entries until you are finished.
