Shipments: defining milestones

You can configure applicable statuses in a process type to be milestones. A milestone is a type of date Sterling™ Order Management System automatically determines when an order moves from one status to another.

A milestone represents a significant point in the processing lifecycle that can be used as a criterion for monitoring. Milestones can be defined at the order, order line, order release, and order release line levels.

Note: A milestone can be reached whenever there is a change in an order line. Sterling Order Management System marks a milestone as reached if an order line reaches a status marked as a milestone. However, there may be times that only part of an order line reaches a particular status defined as milestone.
