         <StepsIntro>To create a work order, take the following steps:</StepsIntro>
         <Step>
            <StepTitle>Create the work order</StepTitle>
            <Paragraph>Use the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Work Orders (tswcs2100m000)</GUIRef> session
			 to create or modify work order details.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>Work orders are used for planning, execution, and control of
			 all possible activities to maintain items. A work order consists of multiple
			 activities required to perform the maintenance work. You can release a work
			 order without related activities, which is useful if no work preparation can be
			 carried out with the aid of reference activities.</Paragraph>
         </Step>
         <Step>
            <StepTitle>Create work order activities</StepTitle>
            <Paragraph>In the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Work Order Activities (tswcs2110m000)</GUIRef> session, you can maintain work order
			 activities.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>An activity is maintenance work that must be performed. For
			 shop maintenance, a work order activity line is an operation to be carried out.
			 You can add activities to a work order during the work order's planning phase,
			 during the work orders preparation phase, and during the execution phase. The
			 work order status must be <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Free</GUIRef>, <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Planned</GUIRef>, or <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Released</GUIRef>. You cannot add activities to subcontracted work
			 orders in <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Released</GUIRef> status.</Paragraph>
         </Step>
         <Step>
            <StepTitle>Add material resource lines to the work order or work order
			 activities</StepTitle>
            <Paragraph>In the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Work Order Material Resources (tswcs4110m000)</GUIRef> session, you can define the expected and actual
			 consumption of materials, as well as the disassembled components.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>The work order material resource lines are created when the
			 work order or work order activity status is <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Free</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>
            <List>
               <ListIntro>You can add work order material resources to:</ListIntro>
               <ListItem>Work orders.</ListItem>
               <ListItem>Work order activities. If you link material resources to a
				work order activity, the resource requirements that you defined in the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Reference Activity - Resource Requirements (tsacm2120m000)</GUIRef> session, are copied to the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Work Control System</GUIRef> module.</ListItem>
            </List>
         </Step>
         <Step>
            <StepTitle>Add other resource lines to the work order or work order
			 activities</StepTitle>
            <Paragraph>In the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Work Order Other Resources (tswcs4130m000)</GUIRef> session, you can define other resources required for
			 the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Work Order (Activity)</GUIRef>. Other resources are, for example,
			 tools, subcontracting costs, other costs, and so on.</Paragraph>
