Overview

Every time you create a new work order, you specify parameters, such as the due date, the release date, and priority, for that work order. After the jobs for a work order are instantiated, they make their individual copies of the operation configuration and the BOM configuration. Any subsequent modifications to the process or BOM do not affect already created or scheduled work orders. These modifications only affect the subsequent work orders you create.

You can correct the mistakes in an already created work order by modifying the work order. MES Administrators can manage, prioritize, and sequence jobs after a work order has been created, as long as those jobs are not running. This is accomplished in the Work Orders And Jobs module of the of the Order Management group in the Wonderware MES Client. Modify a work order by changing the properties in the Properties pane.

Deploy Queue Sequence and Filters

When you create a new work order, a priority is associated with that work order. This priority also gets associated with every single job because you run jobs, not work orders, in runtime.
All the jobs you create can be set to be sorted or scheduled in a particular way. You can specify the order in which you want to run these jobs in runtime. This order can be set by using filters in the queue window. The selections made in the filters are used to sort the jobs.

After the sorting order and important parameters to filter the jobs are selected, you apply that sequence to runtime. Then you can run the jobs in the selected sequence. Using this feature, the master scheduler can figure out the order to run the job based on the plant process and customer.

You can apply the current job queue sequence and filter of attributes such as states, or work orders to all of the entities selected in the entity tree. Queue sequence is used to control the Work Queue for the selected entities in the Wonderware MES Operator application.

To apply the sequence and filters, right-click the job in the tabbed workspace and select the Deploy Queue and Sequence Filter option. The filter you use to open this window is also applied in the runtime.
