Changing part status

Parts can be moved into any status that is part of the configured workflow. For details on how to configure statuses and set up a workflow in AMPI, see Defining statuses and workflows .

Status update dropdown showing all configured statuses to the updating user

Parts can be updated by opening the status dropdown under the parts name on the part detail page. Depending on the users role and permissions, the options in the status-selection dropdown are active or deactivated (greyed out) if the user has no rights to move a part into a specific status. Depending on the configuration of the status, user can be required to place a comment or optionally select a reason for the status update. For details on a statuses configuration options, see Defining statuses and workflows | Configuration options per status .

It is allowed to skip workflow steps when moving a part forward, resulting in the skipped status not being marked as completed on the workflow visualization.

The following non-configurable restrictions for part status updates apply:

Only Expert users can move a part backwards in the workflow
- moving a part backwards requires a comment to be placed by the user
Parts can be rejected in any given status, keeping the parts status and adding the notion “Rejected”
Only Expert users can reject parts
