A punchlist or COW item can also be created while executing a task electronically.
The process for creating a new Punchlist or COW item via Electronic Task Execution is outlined below:
-
In the Task Execution Interface/Model, the user can create punchlist or COW items while completing inspection steps/points. Generally, the only data required to enter/answer in the inspection steps/points is to select one (1) of the three (3) possible answers such as ACCEPT, REJECT, or NA. Only one (1) of those answers will trigger the creation of a punchlist or COW item. It is typically a REJECT (or a NA) answer.
Rejecting an inspection step/point.
-
If a REJECT answer is selected against one of the inspection steps/points, it will trigger a punchlist or COW item creation. This will load a Create Punchlist popup window. You can create a "Simple" or "Standard" punchlist or COW item.
-
Simple Punchlist or COW item - simple edit form with the ability to populate/edit certain fields only.
-
Standard Punchlist or COW item - complete punchlist edit form with the ability to populate/ edit all fields.
-
-
Select ACCEPT (or NA), and a PL/NC Alert window opens, asking to remove the punchlist already created for the step completion.
-
Select Yes, the associated punchlist is removed from the steps completion. You can view the punchlist in the purge/restore lists of punchlists.
-
Select Cancel, the associated punchlist is attached to the steps completion.
-
Create a Simple punchlist or COW item
-
Select the Create Simple from the Create Punchlist window.
-
The simple Punchlist Edit Form will load.

Populate/edit available fields.
Certain fields in the edit punchlist form will auto-populate based on the attributes of the task/asset, e.g.:
-
Description – from the inspection point/step that triggered the punchlist creation.
-
Discipline – from asset discipline attribute.
-
Priority / Criticality – default to ‘B-Low’. User can change to the required Priority / Criticality.
-
Location Association – from asset attributes i.e. Asset, Subsystem and Physical Location.
-
-
Auto-populated fields (e.g. Description field) may be edited to provide more clarity or better define the punchlist or COW item, as the auto-populated Description may not always give an accurate or informative description.
-
Select Create.
-
A new punchlist or COW item has now been created and the assigned Punchlist ID is displayed for the inspection step/point.
Create a Standard Punchlist or COW item
-
Select the Create Standard from the Create Punchlist window.
