Change statuses

The status of a change indicates its position in the processing cycle. The status determines which actions can be performed on the change. For example, if the change is approved (APPR), then the tasks can start.

When you change the status of a record, the status of applicable child records that use the inherit status changes option also are changed. If you change the status of global records, the same status change is automatically applied to all globally related records. In addition, the status of a record can be automatically changed. For example, after you assign an owner to a record, the status of that record automatically changes to queued.

A follow-up record can change the status of the originating record, which results in automatic routing or notification of the status change.

WAPPR
The change 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 change is approved and the work can begin. Work plan items on an approved change 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 change was approved.
WSCH
The change 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 change, the move or change occurs when the status is changed to complete.
CLOSE
The change is closed. Inventory reservations for items not used in the change are removed and the change is made into a history record.
CAN
The work is canceled. You cannot cancel a change 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 change and deleting is not allowed.
