Use this activity to change the status of the work order to the Released status. As a work order can be in progress for an unlimited period of time, there is a status system that defines what can be done with the work order. The status system also facilitates the selection of work orders that can be performed in several windows in IFS Maintenance.
After the work order has been prepared, the status is normally changed to Prepared or Released. However, in certain scenarios, it may not be necessary to follow the standard sequence of status changes. In this case, the system allows you to change the status differently but still in a forward direction, for example from Work Request directly to Released.
For more information, you can refer Change Status on Work Order.
Before the status for the work order can be changed, the following must have been completed:
Note: There might be some conditions connected to the work order that must be accomplished before you can change the status.
As a result of this activity, the Status field in the Active Work Orders will be updated appropriately.
A journal entry is created for this event. Journal entries are generated in the Journal submenu of the Prepare Work Order page.
