Understanding Project Advancement

After development is complete for all objects in a project, the status of the project must be advanced to send the project through the development cycle. Changing the status of a project might affect the allowed actions of certain roles.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne OMW can be configured to enable users, based on their roles, to perform specific actions when a project is at a specific status. For example, a user who is assigned to a project in the role of developer might be able to perform the following actions before the project is advanced: check out, design, and check in. However, after the project is advanced to the next status, a developer might not be able to perform any actions at all.

Changing the status of a project can also initiate actions, such as transferring objects in the project and deleting from the system objects that have been marked for removal. You cannot advance a default project.
