Running Operations Plan Approval
Use Operations Plan Approval (33.15.14) to approve individual orders or items in a chosen range. There are two frames:
• In the first, choose groups of orders for approval.
• In the second, modify the selection for individual orders.
After approval, adjust due dates, release dates, quantities, or other information with the appropriate maintenance programs in the Work Orders, Repetitive, or Purchasing module.
