Synonym for Work Order Status

Troubleshooting


Problem

Status Change to Synonym of Internal Status

Symptom

A synonym, DEFERRED, for the work order status CLOSE is being used. If a work order is already in a CLOSE status, we don't want the work order to be able to be changed to DEFERRED. This is a problem when the inherit status change flag is set.

Resolving The Problem

The following can be used as a workaround:

1. Create a conditional expression
status ='CLOSE' and
custom('psdi.common.parse.InternalValue','WOSTATUS', :status) = 'DEFERRED'


2. Go to Domains application
Bring up the WOSTATUS domain
Click view / modify conditions
Click "New Row" button to create a new condition and attach the WOCLOSE condition to WOSTATUS|DEFERRED valueID

Save the change.

3. Create a new work order
Change the status to CLOSE
Click the change status icon again
Receive message: The status cannot be changed unable to change the work order to DEFERRED.
