Hi Harvey:
I was able to do that as follows:
1. In DB Config, I added a YORN field to the PM object called "USEJPDESC". The users then have the option to use the Job Plan description OR the PM description.
2. In Conditional Expression Manager, I created a condition called "USEJPDESC". The expression would be: :PM.USEJPDESC = 1 (don't forget the ":" in front of PM). I left the "Always Evaluate?" flag off.
3. In Domains, I made an adjustment to the JP2WO domain (this is an OOB domain - you should have it).
- In the "Crossover fields" section, I added a new row with DESCRIPTION in both the Source Field and the Destination Field.
- (Here's the critical component) In the "Condition on Destination" field, I put the USEJPDESC condition (you would think it should be in the "Condition on Source", but it's not. I think this is because the Job Plan data is copied to the work order AFTER the PM data).
Voila! It worked.

Hi Harvey,
As Petra has pointed out, if you leave the PM description empty, the resulting work order will have the job plan description as the work order description.
However, this leaves you with PM's that you don't know what they are for. Therefore we have created an automation script that will take the job plan description if the work order is from a PM. There are a number of samples of this code out in the wild.
Your request is not untypical and perhaps we should raise an RFE to have a flag on the PM so a choice can be made if the work order description comes from the PM or the JP.

Is there a way to bring the description on Preventive Maintenance Work Orders in from the assigned Job Plan instead of the Preventive Maintenance application. This would be very helpful when using the Job Plan Sequencing portion of the application.
Thanks
