How is a Job Sequence Number (JSN) created in OMMS-NG?

A Job Sequence Number (JSN) is created in the OMMS-NG system when a work candidate is opened. This process is essential for tracking maintenance and repair tasks within the Operational Maintenance Management System Next Generation (OMMS-NG). When a work candidate is opened, it serves as a precursor to planned maintenance or repair actions, and the system generates a unique JSN that links all related documentation and tasks to this specific job.

Opening a work candidate typically involves identifying a need for maintenance or repair, which then prompts the system to produce the JSN. This number allows for effective management of resources, scheduling, and tracking of work performance, ensuring that all activities are correctly documented and accounted for.

In contrast, ordering parts or modifying equipment records, while important functions within the system, do not, in themselves, create a JSN. Similarly, creating a new APL (Approved Parts List) relates to inventory management and parts selection, rather than directly creating a job sequence number for maintenance tasks. Thus, the act of opening a work candidate is the critical action that initiates the generation of a Job Sequence Number in OMMS-NG.
