32 Update Status Codes
This chapter contains the topic:
32.1 Updating Status Codes
From Sales Order Management (G42), choose Additional Order Processes
From Additional Order Processes (G4212), choose Status Code Update
You can use the Status Code Update program to manually advance the status codes for order lines that you select. This allows you to manage steps in the order process that are unique to your company. For example, you can bypass credit approval for several order lines by processing them through the Status Code Update program.
You can also manually change a single line's status code to the next status code. However, if an order or order line is on hold, you must first release the order. Advancing the status of a held order does not automatically release the order.
You can only bypass the status codes that are set up in your system's order activity rules.

32.1.2 What You Should Know About
| Topic | Description |
|---|---|
| Limitations of status code updates | You cannot use the Update Status Code program to advance order lines to a closed status, such as 999 or to a restricted status that is specified in during sales order entry. To assign a closed or canceled status to a sales order, you must advance the order through all of the steps in the sales order process. |
