Actual tool use for work orders

To track the actual quantities, hours, and rates for tools used on an approved work order, you use the Tools subtab on the Actuals tab in the Work Order Tracking application.

You can copy data from an existing plan, and delete from, add to, or change this data to reflect actual events. Work orders must be approved before you can report actuals. You can insert new rows until you close the record, but can edit information only before you save the record.

You can report actual tool use in the following ways:

Select tools from the database.
Copy tool data from the work plan.
Select tools that were issued to the work order.
Report individual tool use.
