Update the external status of a standard material

When you create a standard material, the default External Status of the material is Preliminary. To use the standard material in other screens, change the external status to Fully Validated.

1. Navigate to the s20011 Standard Materials screen.

2. To refresh the screen, select the F5 key.

3. In the Standard Material grid, select a row.

4. On the s20011 menu, in the Status group, from the External Status dropdown, select one of the following:

   • Preliminary: Indicates the default status of the standard material. At the Preliminary stage, the standard material is not available for use throughout AVEVA Enterprise Resource Management.

   • Fully Validated: Indicates the standard material is available for use throughout AVEVA Enterprise Resource Management.

   • Not to be Used: Indicates the standard material is not available for use due to a temporary restriction (the supply of materials is restricted or alternatives are being evaluated) or a permanent hold (the material is obsolete). If the standard material is already assigned to a Part List (PL) or a Purchase Order (PO), you can continue to use the standard material. However, the standard material is not available for addition to any new PL or PO.

   • Ready For Delete: Indicates you can delete the standard material in case a clean up of the reference data is performed. At the Ready For Delete stage, the standard material is not available for use throughout AVEVA Enterprise Resource Management.

5. (Optional) To revert the status update, on the s20011 menu, in the Status group, select Revert.

6. On the Home menu, in the Record group, select Save.

   The External Status of the standard material is updated.
