Need to Copy Job Plan Description to PM Work Order

Resolving The Problem

Use Automation Script to implement the required business rule.

1. Go to the System Configuration module

Go to the Platform Configuration
Go to the Automation Scripts application

2. From the "Select Action" menu, select "Create a Script with an Object Launch Point"
Enter a name for the Launch Point
Enter a name for the script
Script Language defaults to jython

Object = WORKORDER
Go to the Events frame and check "Add?"

Click "Next"



2. Enter a descriptive script name in the Script field
Script Language field defaults to jython
Enter launch point variables

• variable = jpdesc , variable type = IN, binding type = attribute, Launch Point Attribute = jobplan.description
• variable = description, variable type = OUT, binding type = attribute, Launch Point Attribute = description
• variable = pmnum, variable type = INOUT, binding type = attribute, Launch Point Attribute = pmnum

3. Click Next
Enter the following in the source code:

if pmnum is not None:

description = jpdesc

NOTE: The script has to be indented or else it will NOT work.


4. Click the "Create" button

Change the status to ACTIVE


The launch point is now active

NOTE: if its necessary to de-activate the script, de-select active checkbox and save

Test the script:

1. Bring up a PM record in the PM application



2. From the "Select Action" menu, generate a PM work order



3. Go to the generated work order 1252 and notice that the Job plan description has been copied to the PM generated work order 1252
