About Status Indicators

A status indicator is a color-coded icon that provides the status of a work order, operation, or a serial/lot. The progress of work of all the serials/lots and operations indicates the overall status of a work order. The following table provides information on the status indicators for a serial/lot, operation, and a work order.

Note: During production, the status of an operation may differ as follows:
  • When a serial/lot is on hold, the status of the operation associated with that serial/lot can be In Progress.
  • When a serial/lot is scrapped, the operation in which the serial/lot is scrapped along with all subsequent operations that were configured to be performed on the serial/lot is Cancelled.
Table 1. Status Indicators of a Work Order
Status Status Indicator Description for a Serial/Lot Description for an Operation Description for a Work Order
Not Ready Not applicable Indicates that none of the serials/lots are available for you to begin the operation. Not applicable
Ready Indicates that no operation has been performed on the serial/lot yet, and the serial/lot is ready for you to perform the operation. Indicates that you can begin work for the operation. Indicates that you can begin work for the work order.
In Progress Indicates that work has begun on the serial/lot (that is, the serial/lot is clocked on or was clocked on in the past). Indicates that work for the operation has begun on at least one serial/lot (that is, at least one serial/lot is clocked on for the operation or was clocked on the past). Indicates that work has begun for at least one serial/lot in the work order (that is, at least one serial/lot in the work order is clocked on or was clocked on in the past).
On Hold Indicates that a defect has been created for the serial/lot. After the defect is closed, the status is changed to the previous status. Indicates that the operation is on hold. For example, if the disposition method specified for a defect is Continue to Process (CTP), and the defect is re-evaluated during a future operation, that future operation is on hold. When the serial/lot is ready for that future operation, the operation status is Ready or In Progress, and the serial/lot status is On Hold. Not applicable
Cancelled Not applicable Indicates that the operation is in the Cancelled status. For example, when a serial/lot is scrapped or split, the status of the current operation on the serial/lot is changed to Cancelled. Indicates that the work order is cancelled.
Scrapped Indicates that the serial/lot has been scrapped. Not applicable Not applicable
Split Indicates that the lot has been split up. This happens when a non-conformance has been created on some of the items in the lot. Not applicable Not applicable
Completed Indicates that all operations for the serial/lot are completed. Indicates that the operation is completed for all serials/lots. Indicates that all the operations associated with all the serials/lots in the work order are completed.
