You should be clocked in FUEL Service Department software in order to put yourself to work. Refer to the Clock in yourself in FUEL Service Department software page for more information.
The Put to Work option is used for tracking the time the technician spends on the repair in service software. You can put yourself to work either on the line or labor operation. After you are put to work, the system starts tracking the actual hours for the work and updates the Left column value on the lines grid of the Technician Terminal window of FUEL Service Department software.

Put yourself to work on the line, in case it is not important, on which labor operation you start working: you are put to work on the first labor operation of the line, to which you are assigned and on which the work was not started. If it is necessary to start the work on a specific labor operation, put yourself to work on the labor operation in FUEL Service Department software.

Important:

• You can put only yourself to work on the line, otherwise when putting another technician to work the following message appears: You cannot start work on line as you are not assigned to this line.
• Only the line with the Assigned status can be put to work in service and repair software. If the line has the Opened status, first assign yourself to it. If the line has either Hold or Finished status, first assign yourself to it, if necessary, and open the line in FUEL Service software.
• If the repair order has the Veh. disabled status, you will not be able to start the work on it. For more information, refer to the Repair order statuses in FUEL Service Department software page.

Use the following steps to start the work on the line in FUEL Service Department software:

1. Select the necessary line of the repair order from the lines grid on the Technician Terminal window.
2. Select RO Line / Put technician to work on the menu or click the Put to Work button on the Technician Terminal window. You are put to work, the line status becomes Working and the repair order receives the AVL / Working status.

• If you are currently working on another line or repair order, the Technician cannot start work, because he is already working message appears. In this case, you can partially finish your work on another line and put the current line to work in service software.
• If you have one of the following statuses: Not available, On break, Complete day, On holiday, Is late, Personal time off, Sick, Training, Unavailable, Vacation, you cannot start work. You should first make yourself available by clocking yourself in FUEL Service and Repair software.
• If the line has the Working status, and the Put to Work button is clicked, the Line has already got the Working status message appears.
