Why can I not edit the Work Order Type on a PM work order

Modified on Thu, May 9 at 12:56 PM

The Work Order Type for a Work Order created from Preventive Maintenance Work Order Generation is not editable. The Work Order Type is set by the Preventive Maintenance Schedule Record which is considered the Master Record

The Work Order Order Type is set in the Preventive Maintenance Schedule Record as shown below. To Change the Type select the desired Preventive Maintenance Schedule record and then select the desired type and then save the record.
