Manually Adding Work Orders To the Backlog From a Template

You may want to generate a work order from a template before the next work order is scheduled to be created. You can manually create a work order and add it to the Work Order Backlog Browse list.

To manually add a work order to the Backlog from a template:

1. Run the Work Order Module.

2. Open the template that you wish to generate a work order from.

3. Select Backlog from the Templates menu

   OR

   Choose Backlog from the popup menu.

4. Pinnacle will ask if you want to commence the new work order immediately. If you want to add the work order to the Backlog and commence it immediately (the work order status will become In Progress) then click the Yes button. If you want to add the work order to the Backlog, but don't want to commence it, click the No button.

   The work order will be added to the Work Order Backlog list.
