Unit purchase order (UPO) statuses are used on unit purchase orders to allow you to see their progress at a glance. When a unit order's status updates, it can update the unit status automatically.
- From any module in MotilityAnywhere, select the user icon in the upper right of the screen to open the menu.
- Choose the Settings option from the menu. This will open a screen where, depending on your security permissions, you may view or update company settings.
- Select the App Settings tab.
- Click the Unit Inventory subtab on the left side of the screen.
- Click once over the Unit PO Statuses section. This will expand the section.
- To add a new status, click the Add External Status button in the upper right of the table.
- Enter a description for the status. The status description is used in reporting. You can add as many new descriptions as you wish, but each has to correspond to an internal status.
- Optionally, you can select a color for the unit orders to show when assigned with this status.
- Set the internal status that will correspond to the new status. Internal statuses are preset and cannot be changed.
- Optionally, assign a corresponding unit status when the UPO reaches this status.
- Enter the order that you wish the status to show into the Position column. Higher numbers will show at the bottom of the list. If multiple statuses are set to the same position number, they will show alphabetically.
- Select the Update button on the row to save your changes.
