The following lifecycle statuses are available for a BMC demand line: Preliminary: The initial status when the material demand line is added to the BMC record. Review: The BMC demand line is in the status of review for any amendments. Greige/Color Submitted: The user finished data input and submitted the BMC demand line, the demand line is locked and waiting for senior user's return. Note: If the Next Commit Type of the demand line is Greige Commit, it is promoted to Greige Submitted while if the Next Commit Type is color/finish commit, it is promoted to Color Submitted. Greige/Color Approved: The senior user goes into the submitted BMC record to approve/reject the demand lines and changes the BMC header status to "Returned". Note: If the Next Commit Type of the demand line is Greige Commit, it is promoted to Greige Approved while if the Next Commit Type is color/finish commit, it is promoted to Color Approved. Greige/Color Issued: After the senior user returned the BMC, the BMC demand line is promoted to "Issued" to the material supplier. Note: If the Next Commit Type of the demand line is Greige Commit, it is promoted to Greige Issued while if the Next Commit Type is color/finish commit, it is promoted to Color Issued. Resubmit Required: When the senior user rejects a demand line, the demand line is branched to Resubmit Required. After the BMC record is returned, the user is able to make adjustments and re-submit the demand line for senior user's approval. The BMM users themselves cannot cancel any material demand lines. But when the line(s) cancellation is driven from assortment, the system will branch the line(s) to the Cancel lifecycle statues of Demand Cancel, Cancel Submitted, Cancel Approved, Cancel Issued/Cancelled. The system branches the line(s) in the Demand Cancel status initially and the BMM user is able to submit the line(s) from Demand Cancel to Cancel Submitted for senior cancellation approval. Similar to other approval scenarios, after the BMM user promotes the BMC record to Submitted, the Senior BMM user may go into the record and approve the line(s) cancellation with line status showing Cancel Approved and return the record. If the line(s) has been issued to the material supplier before, it is necessary to issue the line(s) to material supplier for the cancellation updates with line status showing Cancel Issued. But if the line(s) has never been issued to material supplier before, the status will be Cancelled. When there is any assortment change (exclude canceling the assortment lines) which is refreshed in the demand line(s), the line status is systematically demoted to Review for adjustment when necessary. Also, users can manually demote the line status to Review for any amendment. | |||||||
