Release statuses

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.
