The Put to Work option is used for tracking the time the technician spends on the repair in FUEL Service Department 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 FUEL Service Department software, 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.

Important:

• You can put only yourself to work on the labor operation in this service and repair software, otherwise when putting another technician to work the following message appears: Technician cannot start working on line and labor operation because he has not been ever preassigned to this line.
• Only the labor operation on the line with the Assigned status can be put to work. If the line has the Opened status, first assign yourself to the labor operation in FUEL Service Department software. If the line has either Hold or Finished status, first assign yourself to the labor operation in FUEL Service Department software if necessary and open the line.
• 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 labor operation in service and repair software:

1. Select the necessary line from the lines grid on the Technician Terminal window.
2. Select RO Line / Line details on the main menu of the window, press Ctrl + D on the keyboard or click the Line Details button on the Technician Terminal window. The Line Details window appears.
3. Select the necessary labor operation from the Technicians Information grid.
4. Click the Put to Work button at the right side of the Line Details window.
5. The current line receives the Working status and the system starts clocking the time for you on the selected labor operation. The repair order receives the AVL / Working status in FUEL Service Department software.

• 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 or labor operation, and put the current labor operation 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.
• 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.
