These scenarios explain how Change History works when the status of the item changes.

Scenarios Initial Status Saved Status Is Change History tracked?
1 Pilot Approved Pilot Approved No. Changes are not tracked for the item.
2 Pilot Approved Mfg Approved Yes. Any change that is made by any user is tracked.
3 Mfg Approved Mfg Approved Yes. Any change that is made by any user is tracked.
4 Mfg Approved Obsolete Yes, the change in status is tracked.

After the item is saved with the status code of Obsolete, the subsequent changes are no longer tracked.

To reinstate Change History, the user must change the status back to Mfg. Approved.
