Chapter 8. Work Management 155 Flow Action Assist check box suppresses the automatic firing of the selected action. Figure 8- 12 on page 154 shows these fields. Figure 8- 13 shows examples of actions that can be executed. Figure 8- 13 Flow action examples By default, if a work type is not defined and to facilitate flow action use, a work order starts the process flow when its status is changed to INPRG. When a work order process control starts, the selected action is fired. 8.3 Plan labor and crafts A work order might require different tasks to be performed, and with that might require the services of different laborers or crafts. IBM Maximo Asset Management creates a separated requirement for each task or labor listed on a work plan. For example, if two mechanics are required for a task, two requirements are created. Similarly, if two different crafts are required for a task, IBM Maximo Asset Management creates one requirement for each craft. The Labor application is used to define labor and related skills, whose definition is provided by the Crafts application. To learn more about managing labor and crafts, refer to Chapter 7, “ Resources” on page 121. Note: The flow action functionality executes an action when the work order is started through process flow control and the Flow Action field has an action selected.
