Direct Issue Items

If you have mentioned a direct issue item (material) in plans tab of the Work Order, and when you approve the Work Order, the work order status changes to WMATL (not APPR). i.e the work order is waiting for material to arrive. Once you have received the material, the work order status changes automatically to APPR.

NOTE: Direct Issue items are items which you want to purchase and to be directly delivered to your work location instead of passing through the storeroom.
