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.
