What this screen is for
A work order sits under a principal employer and describes a particular piece of contracted work. Each row shows the work order number with its description, the category, the principal employer it belongs to, the number of workers against it and whether it is active. You can search by number or category, and add, edit or delete orders.
When to use it
Create one for each engagement you deploy workmen against. On the statutory registers the work order is an optional filter, so keeping them accurate lets you produce a register for a single order rather than for the whole establishment.
What you see on this screen
- Work Order # — the order number, with its description underneath.
- Category — the category of work, or a dash where none is set. This is what appears in brackets beside the order number when you pick it on a register.
- Principal Employer — the establishment the order sits under.
- Workers — how many people are deployed against it.
- Status — Active or Inactive.
- Actions — edit and delete.
While the list is empty, the table is replaced by a prompt to add a work order to bill deployed workmen against.
Filters and actions
- Search by number or category — a single search box above the table.
- Add Work Order — creates one.
- The pencil icon edits a row; the bin icon deletes it, naming the work order number in the confirmation.
Status values
- Active — offered when generating a register.
- Inactive — retained for history, no longer offered.
