Alter Milestone
Explanation
Progress, start date, lead time, date expected, origin date
expected, or date finished may change for a milestone. If this is the case, it is possible
to update the milestone. It is also possible to remove a milestone.
The status on an entered milestone line is always Released. When
the milestone is reported as finished, the status is changed to Closed. You can reopen a
closed milestone by using the Operations menu. It is also possible to close a milestone
that is in status Released, without entering a date finished, by using the Operations
menu.
You also can remove a specific milestone by marking the line in
question and then by clicking on the Remove button in the tool bar. If you have specified
a step sequence, you have the option of removing a specific step and any following steps
by using the Delete Tree in the Operations menu.
Prerequisites
- A milestone must have been entered and saved for a customer order
line.
System Effects
A milestone is either updated, closed, reopened, or removed.
If you reopen a closed milestone in which a date finished is
entered, the status for the line is changed to Released and the date finished is removed.
