Changing the Work Order Association

Changing the Work Order Association

You can reassign a work order to a different association when needed, provided the following conditions are met:

  • The work order status is Open

  • You have Update security permission for Vendor / Work Orders – Change Association

  • The work order is not linked to an invoice

  • The work order is not linked to a vendor

  1. Select Vendors > Invoices. If you are using universal navigation, click Payables > Invoices > Invoices.

    Invoice List screen
  2. On the Invoice List screen, search for and open the invoice linked to the work order.

  3. If a work order number is in the W/O # field on the Invoice screen, click the Unlink icon in the W/O # field, then click Save.
