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.
