Capability - Utility & Transportation Work Orders
Work order workflows that connect field operations to asset records and finance
Utility maintenance, road repairs, and infrastructure work orders are operational workflows with direct consequences for asset condition, fund accounting, and capital planning. When they run inside the ERP, everything connects.
Modernising field work management
- →Work orders created inside the ERP - linked to asset records from the startAsset-linked WOs
- →Crew and resource scheduling visible in one view - work queues manageable by location and priorityScheduling visibility
- →Time and materials post directly to work order cost - labour and materials coded on entryDirect cost posting
- →Completed work updates the asset record - maintenance history accumulates automaticallyMaintenance recorded
- →Capital vs. operating classification applied at work order creation - TCA and budget impact cleanCorrect classification

Canadian Municipal Context
Canadian municipalities are increasingly subject to asset management planning obligations under provincial legislation. Work order data - maintenance history, costs, condition observations - is the evidence base for those plans. Capturing it in the same system as the asset register means capital planning decisions rest on actual operational data, not estimates.
Operational results in the field
Asset connection
Every work order creates a maintenance record against the right asset.
Cost accuracy
Labour and materials post to the correct work order, fund, and TCA record.
Scheduling
Crew and resource scheduling visible across all open and planned work.
Capital reporting
Capital vs. operating work coded correctly from creation - no post-hoc correction.
Work orders connect asset management, fund accounting, and utility billing.
