Update the external status of a project component

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

1. Navigate to the s20010 Project Components screen.

2. In the Current Project control block, from the Project dropdown, select the required project ID.

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

4. In the Project Component grid, select a row.

5. On the s20010 menu, in the Status group, from the External Status dropdown, select one of the following:

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

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

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(the supply of materials is restricted or alternatives are being evaluated) or a permanent hold (the material is obsolete).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

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

6. (Optional) To revert the status update, on the s20010 menu, in the Status group, select Revert.

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

   The External Status of the project component is updated.
