Advancing Projects

Access JD Edwards EnterpriseOne OMW.

1. In JD Edwards EnterpriseOne OMW, click the project to be advanced.

2. Click the Advance Project button in the center column.

3. Click the field labeled >>>, and then enter the desired project status.

   Your choices are limited, based on the current status of the project and on your company's specific procedures, which are defined in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne OMW Configuration application.

   Note: Select the Validate Only option to validate the status change without actually advancing the status of the project. This option enables you to verify that the project is valid before attempting any object transfers. Any projects that are linked to it through token inheritance are validated at this time as well.

4. Check for dependencies, if applicable.

   When you advance a project, you can use the Check Dependency feature to determine whether the project contains objects that can be rolled up when an ESU is created. If the system finds a rule violation, the project is not transferred.

5. Click OK.

   If you did not select the Validate Only option, the system advances the project status and initiates any required object transfers and deletions. Otherwise, the system validates only the project status.

   Use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne OMW logging system to view any errors that occurred during the status change. If you cannot advance the project, verify the following:

   • All of the objects in the project are checked in, including objects in projects that inherit a token.

   • If you are using a SAR system, you have completed all of the required fields in the SAR.
