Create Default Work Task Labour Items

Note: This functionality is available in the Work Orders and Planning Work Orders browse windows, and it is accessed in the same way in both windows.

This batch update functionality enables you to add default work task labour items to work order tasks that do not have any labour items.

The default work task labour record is created with the following information:

• a Required On date and time that matches the work order's Required By date and time
• an estimated duration of 000:00
• the 'UNKNOWN' trade
• the default general ledger, cost centre, and financial year information

This functionality will NOT add a default work task labour item to work order tasks that already include work task labour items.

You can also configure On Key to automatically add a 'DEFAULT' task to the work order if the work order does not include any tasks. To enable this functionality, select the Automatically Add Default Task checkbox on the Work Orders tab in the System Options window.

To create a default work task labour item to a work order, you need to:

1. Open the Planning Work Orders browse window.
   
   
2. Hold the Shift key and select the work orders that you want to add the default tasks and work task labour records to.
   
   
3. Click the Batch Update Functionality button and select Create Default Work Task Labour Items.
