Changing product status codes
Changes to product status codes are not retroactive, and existing orders are not affected by product status changes. When editing an order on the Overview tab of the Enter and edit orders window, if you tab out of the Product field without changing the product code, iMIS does not re-verify the status of the product code. However, if a product code is changed, iMIS does verify the new product's status according to the verification requirements for entering orders.
