Hi,
Can the users be prevented from closing a work order when a PO is still open?
I tried this link from IBM but apparently this works only for Maximo 7.1:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21591420
I think this was available for version 6, but not sure for 7.5 though.
Thanks in avdance
This may be swatting flies with a cruise missile for your implementation, but on a previous job I replaced the Change Status button and action with a workflow. The workflow applied plenty of business logic, including checking for open POs or PRs, limiting the menu of available statuses to those that fit our business processes, and firing off e-mails to interested parties when certain conditions were met. It's probably not worth it if all you want to do is prevent closure of a work order with an active PO, but it's worth thinking about if you have more significant business logic you'd like to bake into status changes.

We removed the rights for users to close work orders completely. We use an
escalation that closes work orders after a set period of time. it first
verifies that there are no open purchase orders or purchase requests for the
work order. If an open purchasing document is identified an email is sent to
the site contact.

if you don`t want to customize, you can probably use a condition on status
change to CLOSE (domain application + condition expression manager
application). Ppl will not be able to go to status CLOSE, but will not see
any message that will explain why....

Vincent,
Are you using Rules Manager? If so creating a rule would be one way to do prevent users from closing a work order with an open PO. I have an escalation that closes POs whose receipts have been completed for 45 days.
Yes - I would recommend eliminating everyone's rights to close work orders.
Then set up an escalation to close work orders if your conditions are met,
i.e.:
Status = 'COMP' and wonum not in (select refwo from po, poline where
po.ponum = poline.ponum and po.historyflag = 0)
(Just off the top of my head.)

Leave a responsible person with access to CLOSE work orders though. For example, yesterday I had to decommission an Asset. You can't do that if the Asset is attached to open work orders.
Otherwise, yes, having an Escalation to close them is the way to go.
