The View Work Orders screen is used to search, filter, and open work orders for review or detail maintenance.
What this screen is for
Use View Work Orders when you need to find a work order, review its status, open its detail screen, print work order documents, or review production history.
This screen is also reused by the Issue Materials and Log Labor / WIP to FG workflows with different list filters and action buttons.

Work order columns

Statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
Draft |
Work order has been created but materials have not been issued through the normal issue workflow. |
Released |
Materials have been issued and the work order is ready for labor, production, or completion. |
In Progress |
Production activity has started, usually after a partial completion or labor/completion activity. |
Completed |
The work order has been completed through the WIP-to-FG completion workflow or marked completed. |
Cancelled |
The work order is no longer active for production. |
Use the completion workflow rather than manually forcing a status to Completed when inventory receipt and WIP transfer are needed.
What happens behind the scenes
Opening the screen reads the work order list and related part description and created-by user. Searching and filtering in this screen are client-side actions after the list loads.
Opening a work order detail screen loads additional material, operation, outside-service, and allocation details.
Viewing and filtering work orders does not move inventory, post accounting, or change work order status.
Troubleshooting
No work orders are shown
Likely cause: The selected status filter or search text excludes the work order.
Safe fix: Clear the search box and change the status filter to All Statuses.
Contact support if: The work order exists but never appears under any filter.
A completed work order is missing from the default list
Likely cause: The default filter is Open Only.
Safe fix: Change the status filter to Completed or All Statuses.
Contact support if: The completed work order still does not appear.
The wrong action button is shown
Likely cause: The same list component is used in different modes. View mode shows View, Issue mode shows Issue, and completion mode shows Log Labor / WIP to FG.
Safe fix: Return to the Work Orders menu and choose the intended option.
