All MRs can be amended.
An amendment is not only a revision of the MR but also has a pending status, meaning that all modifications made in amendments are not effective until the amendment is turned to effectiveness.
When an amendment is created on a MR:
- the original MR , its associated status and work orders (WO) are not modified
- the amended MR and its associated status can be modified without implication on the effective list of works due.
Viewing amended MR:
By default, the MR module shows all MRs, amended or not.
To specify which MR you would like to work on, select the appropriate option in the selection filter:
Creating amendments:
