      The Requested Parts List

      An overview of the Requested Parts List page in Texada Web.

      Quick Reference

      • When a Mechanic discovers that they do not have all of the Parts they need to complete a Work Order, they can use Texada Mobile to request additional Parts. This has 2 effects in the system:
        • A notification email is sent to the purchasing agent of the Mechanic’s division. Purchasing agents are appointed from the Divisional Logistics Settings screen in Texada SRM.
        • The request is logged in the Requested Parts List page in Texada Web.
      • The Requested Parts List page contains a list of all the Parts that have been requested by Mechanics using Texada Mobile.
      • To reach the Requested Parts List, navigate to Inventory → Requested Parts in the left side menu.
      • Once a requested Part has been sourced, use the Notify button to alert the Mechanic currently assigned to the Work Order that the Part is available. This will leave a comment on the Work Order informing the Mechanic that their request has been fulfilled.

      Introduction

      When a Mechanic is completing a Work Order for an Asset in need of servicing, they may discover that they do not have all of the Parts they need to complete the repair. When this happens, the Mechanic can use Texada Mobile to request additional Parts; see “Add a Part to a Work Order in Texada Mobile” for more information. 

      Submitting a request for Parts in this manner has two effects in the system. First, an email is sent to the purchasing agent of the Mechanic’s division to notify them of the request (purchasing agents are appointed from the Divisional Logistics Settings screen in Texada SRM). Second, the request is logged in the Requested Parts List screen in Texada Web. 

      As its name implies, the Requested Parts List screen contains a list of all the Parts that have been requested through Texada Mobile. From this screen, dispatchers can review pending requests and notify Mechanics when a request has been fulfilled. 

      To reach the Requested Parts List, navigate to Inventory → Requested Parts in the left side menu.

      4. Requested Parts Table
        This table contains a list of every request for additional Parts that has been submitted by Mechanics using Texada Mobile. Each row in the table represents a specific Part; if a Mechanic has requested multiple Parts for a single Work Order, each Part will appear in its own row in the table. The appearance of this table can be customized in a number of ways; see “Working with Tables” for more information. 
      5. Part
        Each row in the Requested Parts table represents a Part that has been requested by a Mechanic. The Document # column shows the number of the Work Order for which the Part was requested; the Requested Qty column shows the quantity requested.
      6. Notify Button
        Once a requested Part has been sourced, use this button to add a comment to the Work Order indicating that the Part is available. The Mechanic assigned to the Work Order will receive a notification of the comment on their mobile device. Note that the Part will remain in the Requested Parts List until the Mechanic has accessed Texada Mobile and reduced the requested quantity to 0.
