The status of a release indicates its position in the processing
cycle. The status determines which actions can be performed on the
release. For example, if the release is approved (APPR), then the
tasks can start.
When you change the status of a release, the status of applicable
child releases that use the inherit status changes option also change.
If you change the status of global releases, the same status change
is automatically applied to all globally related releases. In addition,
the status of a release can be automatically changed. For example,
after you assign an owner to a release, the status of that release
automatically changes to queued.
A follow-up record can change the status of the originating release,
which results in automatic routing or notification of the status change.
- WAPPR
- The release is waiting for approval. WAPPR is the default status
for records created in the Work Order Tracking, Changes, Releases,
and Activities and Tasks applications.
- APPR
- The release is approved and the work can begin. Work plan items
on an approved release are reserved in inventory, and records cost
and rate data. Rates can be changed in the Inventory application,
Labor application, or Tools application. If the rates are changed
in any application, the work plan reflects the rates in effect when
the release was approved.
- WSCH
- The release is waiting to be scheduled. WSCH is the default status
for records created in the Preventive Maintenance application.
- WMATL
- Materials must arrive before the work can be performed.
- WPCOND
- The work can be performed only when the condition of the plant
is suitable. For example, certain work might require the shutdown
of the plant.
- INPRG
- The work is in progress. INPRG is the default status for records
created in the Quick Reporting application.
- COMP
- The physical work is completed. If you want to move or change
an asset on a release, the move or release occurs when the status
is changed to complete.
- CLOSE
- The release is closed. Inventory reservations for items not used
in the release are removed and the release is made into a history
record.
- CAN
- The work is canceled. You cannot cancel a release if the work
has already been initiated or if actuals have already been reported.
You can use this status when you want to delete a release and deleting
is not allowed.
