A workflow process can be created to handle a work order. An enterprise has configured the system to route all new preventive maintenance work orders that are generated through the preventive maintenance work order generation cron task into a workflow process.
The first step is to evaluate the priority of the work order, as follows:
All preventive maintenance work orders then go through a financial approval process. Work orders with an estimated total cost of less than $500 are automatically approved. The maintenance supervisor must review and approve work orders with an estimated total cost of more than $500.
After a work order passes the financial approval process, it must be assigned to a work group, as follows:
After the system assigns the work order to a maintenance group, the work order exits the workflow process.
The following diagram illustrates one way that you might map the preceding scenario.
