Activity Rules for Work Orders
You can define work order activity rules that differ by work order type. You can use these rules to track a work order through its life cycle, review work orders that apply to certain procedures, and prepare reports that are based on the current status of a work order. You can also define the flow of statuses (steps) that a work order must follow during its life cycle. In addition, you can also define:
Whether the work order is active or inactive at a particular status.
Whether and when to lock the work order to prevent changes.
