Provide an option to generate task workorders for each route stop

Currently if a PM has Route and no Job Plan specified for each Route Stop, Maximo uses Job Plan attached to the PM to generate Task Workorders for each route stop. This could create huge number of Task Workorders for the whole PM workorder. These task workorders have the same tasks and users may not want to see them for each route stop.

Please provide an option to allow users to select whether same task workorders need to be created for each Route Stop. If the selection is No, only create task workorders for the parent PM Workorder.

    Currently in our system, default is to create all the route stops as children workorders. For example, if we have a pm for an equipment check like an eyewash station and it is associated with a route. Route has 2 route stops (in this case, it's 2 eyewash stations) with no job plan, only asset is specified. PM has a job plan on it. When a wo is generated from pm, it will create 1 parent wo, 2 child wos (for each route stop) and copy over all the tasks from the job plan to all the child workorders. Most of our PMs are designed this way and we are having lot of tasks added on child workorders that should not be.
