Define a status group when you create a task. The status group controls which statuses are available and in which sequence they are used.

Use the Status setup tab to define valid transitions between statuses. This setup helps control system behavior and status changes.

Use the Registration tab to define which processes can be registered on the work order line for each status. Examples include:

• Item requirement registration
• Purchase order registration
• Sales order registration

For example, you can allow sales order registration only when the work order has status Created.
