Encumbering and Disencumbering Work Orders

A work order is not encumbered by default. There is no common code or general setup page field to enable this functionality.

Encumber Work Order

The WOUTEN utility allows the user to create encumbrances for a selected work order. Encumbrance records are created based on how estimates were entered in WOUPWR:

• If the user enters estimates only on the Details tab in detail or summary format, a single encumbrance record will be created for the total of all records on the Details tab.
• If the user enters estimates on the Totals tab in summary format, a single encumbrance record will be created for the total of all the records on the Details tab.
• If the estimate is entered in the Totals tab and some of the Details tab, an encumbrance record will be created from the records on the Details tab.

Disencumber Work Order

The Disencumber Work Order (WOUTDE) utility is used for disencumbering work orders. Enter the work order number, select the date to use in the disencumber transaction, and select a line printer. Upon submitting the job, Work Order creates a disencumbrance transaction.
