Implications of upgrading to Planon Live with work assignments
An upgrade to Planon Live L47 will have implications due to the introduction of work assignments.
The basic work assignments functionality (1:1 planning) becomes available on all order-related functionality once you upgrade to Planon Live L47.
This has several implications, even for users who have not purchased the Resource Planner Pro license and who have not set the corresponding Work Assignments feature switch that allows for 1:n planning.
The following changes are made generically in the Planon application upon the upgrade:
• 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 mean two different things and consequently 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 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.

• 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.
