Sometimes it’s necessary to adjust plans and steps on a work order or work order line item. For example, suppose your company requires a new safety procedure on every job. Create a work plan template with the procedure, and use that template to add the plan to outstanding work orders. If you don’t have an existing template, you can use the New button.

To add a work plan from a work plan template, follow these steps.

  1. On the work order or work order line item, select Add Work Plans from the action menu.
    Add Work Plans Action
  2. Select one or more work plans to add from the list of work plan templates. You can search and select plans from your search results. The Show Selected link lets you see what’s selected.
    Add Work Plans to Work Order
  3. Click Add. Added work plans and work step instances appear in the related lists.
    Note
    Note You can add work plans more than one time. We don’t prevent duplicates.

To add another work step from a work step template.

  2. Select a work plan, or create a new one.
  3. On the work plan record, select Add Work Steps from the action menu.
