Configure outcome causes for override skills

When you configure a specific outcome cause, technicians can block a work order (WO) in the field and flag it for a skills review. Then, back-office users can review and modify skills in the Work Order Management interface’s Accounting Monitor.

Configure outcome causes

  1. Navigate to Configuration > Core > Work Order Management > Accounting > Outcome Causes.

  2. In the Outcome Causes table, right click an outcome cause and click Modify

  3. In the Outcome Cause window, set:

    • Class to Rescheduling.

    • Cause Type to Negative.

    • Outcome Type to Blocking.

  4. Select Enable Insufficient Skills.

    • When you enable this function, the system assigns WOs to the Dynamic Skill process, which allows users to add new skills or tools to the specific WO record.

  5. Click Save.

Note: A validation message informs you of the necessary conditions to save a record. The Class, Cause Type, or Outcome Type must match the required values to save.
