What is a work order reactivation and when and how to use it?

Less than one minute read time.

Work order reactivation (FUNMREACT) is found in Manufacturing, Utilities and is used to reopen a closed work order. This means that the work order status can be changed from Closed back to a Firm status in order to authorize additional tracking. 

The WO Reactivation function can be used to continue tracking a work order as long as the work order cost price has not been calculated yet. If the work order is closed and costed, it is not possible to re-open the work order.

To use this function, navigate to Manufacturing, Utilities, select WO reactivation.

Once in there, enter the Production site and the Work order number or the work order number can be selected from the left-list then click Reactivate.

A question message will pop out asking “Reactive the work order”?

If the answer is Yes, the WO status will change from Closed to Firm and additional tracking can be processed on it.
