Implications of upgrading to a Planon version with work assignments
 | The basic work assignments functionality (1:1 planning) became available on all order-related functionality after upgrades to Planon Live L47 or higher. If you are upgrading from a release earlier than this, then you should take into account this section, otherwise it can be ignored/it is already the way it works. |
This had several implications, even for users who did not purchase the Resource Planner Pro license and who did not switch to the corresponding Work Assignments feature that allows for 1:n planning.
The following changes are applied in the Planon application upon an upgrade from an older version:
• For each order with an internal tradesperson filled in, a work assignment is created.
• Status mapping settings for AppSuite are moved from AppSuite Order settings to > > > tab.
 | • The status mapping for the Assigned and Reassigned statuses will be merged. • Statuses cannot appear in more than one status mapping. On the upgrade, the AppSuite Order settings settings are merged with the > on Orders. The AppSuite Order settings are leading and will replace any existing status mapping. If a status is mapped multiple times in the AppSuite configuration, the status mapping with the highest priority is merged and the others are ignored. Also see: Synchronization between order and work assignment(s). |
• The PMFS status field on the Orders data panel no longer displays the Fetched status, because it became obsolete.
• A data loss warning message will be displayed upon changing the Internal tradesperson or Status on the order, while the corresponding work assignment is on a mobile device.
