Reorder Process for Work Orders Waiting for Materials

If a Work Order is waiting for materials, i.e. the status is WMATL, then you need to run the reorder items process (can also be auto scheduled using cron task). This process checks all the Work Orders which are in WMATL status, and then creates the PRs for those items, keeping WO number as a reference in the PR. The "Issue on receipt" checkbox is also checked by MAXIMO for this process. User needs to convert those PRs into POs and then receive the material against these POs. The PO also has the work order reference number (copied from PR) and also "Issue on receipt" check box checked.  When you receive the material, based on "Issue on receipt" and work order reference, MAXIMO issues the material to Work Order.
