Activity Rules

Use activity rules to specify the status of a work order at any point in the life cycle. In addition, you use activity rules to:

• Select work orders for certain procedures.

• Prepare reports that are based on the current status of a work order.

• Change the PM (preventive maintenance) status when the work order changes status.

• Specify whether the work order is active or inactive at a particular status.

• Specify who has the authority to update claims at a certain status (for warranty claims and supplier recovery claims).

You can define activity rules that differ by document type and classification (work order type).

You must set up a reject code as the last status for any set of activity rules that use an approval process.
