When work records, such as work orders, changes, and releases,
have a status of Waiting on Approval, you can change the status to
Approved.
Keep in mind the following system behavior that pertains to work
record approval:
- When you approve a work record, the system reserves the work plan
items in Inventory and records cost and rate data. If rates change
in Inventory, Labor, or Tools, the work plan reflects the rates in
effect when the change was approved.
- An approved record cannot be deleted.
- When you approve a work record, the tasks on the record are also
approved.
- If you approve a work record that has child work orders with their Inherit
Status Changes check box selected, the applicable child
work orders are also approved.
- You can change the status of multiple work orders at the same
time using the Select Records checkbox on the List tab
to select the records, or you can change the status of a displayed
record.
