Changing the status of a communication

You can change process types with an error status to Active. You can change a vendor return status to active. You can change process types with a work-in-process status to inactive or active, which enables them to be resubmitted from the originating function.

If you change the status on a WLET, which is a master type record, then the appropriate WLEM record is also changed. You cannot modify the status at the detail level. If the WLET is not a master type record, then the attached records are inactivated. Attached records include:

• WLEH
• WLEL
• WLELS
• WLELK

You can update the Status field to Active if the status is in one of these states:

• Open
• Error
• Vendor returns
• Work in Process

After an error is researched and fixed, the transmission can be set to active to resend, or inactive for WL Delete Transmissions Report to remove.

You can also change Work in Process to inactive if the information is already in TWL or the system, and you do not require a resend.

If you are updating an error, a question may be displayed asking whether to resubmit the error communication. Select Yes to resubmit the error. The corresponding batch processing report processes the information.
