Creating a quick repair order

Quick repair orders were designed as a way to create repair orders for minor repairs discovered during inspections. You use the Quick ROs feature to create a repair order for tasks such as:

  • Replacing trailer light bulbs

  • Replacing wiper blades

  • Adding oil

  1. If you cannot complete the repair during the inspection, you should create separate inspection tickets instead of creating a quick repair order.

  2. No direct labor is charged to a quick repair order. All the labor is recorded as indirect time for Inspection Tickets.

  3. Any inspection item that does not pass the inspection will appear on the Quick RO window. When a part is added to the inspection item, a section will be created on the Quick RO for that item. If a part is not added to the inspection item a section will not appear on the Quick RO.

To process an existing inspection ticket:

  1. Go to Menu > Activities > Interactive Workstation > Interactive Workstation.

    For versions earlier than V.2020.2, go to Menu > Activities > Interactive Workstation.
