Creating status dependencies for nonconformities

Create and maintain observation status codes and their effect on the nonconformity header status. For example, you can specify that if the nonconformity observation is set to Approved, the Nonconformity status on the header record is set to Confirmed/Open.

To create a status dependency:

  1. Select Equipment > Nonconformities > Nonconformities Setup.
  2. Select the organization for which to setup status dependencies, and then click the Status Dependencies tab.
  3. Specify this information:
    Observation Status
    Specify the observation status that will determine the status of the Nonconformity Status.
    Nonconformity Status
    Specify what the status of the nonconformity should be based on the Observation Status.
    Only if Nonconformity Status Is
    Optionally, specify what the nonconformity status must be for the status dependency to occur.

    For example, you can specify that if the Observation Status is set to Repair, then the Nonconformity Status will be set to Temporary Repair but only if the current Nonconformity Status is Open.

  4. Click Submit.
