Problems to approve a parts estimation (Status: Issued and in progress)
In the corrective maintenence module, when a work request is created and the craftperson has to estimate the parts he will use, the system allows a supervisor to approve the parts estimation as long as the requests status is "assined to work order", if the request status changes to "Issued and in Process", then one cannot estimate parts, nor approve the estimation by a supervisor. The only action allowed is to add used parts by the craftperson. So, as a supervisor, it's hard to control and approve the material or parts needed according to their criteria. Now, what we think would be useful to improve the workflow, is to allow the users to estimate parts in both request status: Assined to work order and Issued and in Progress.
Here some screenshots:
- When the wr has the "assigned to work order" status. We can estimate. (Screenshot 1)
- Here, (another wr with the next status) Issued and in process, we cannot estimate parts but only add used parts. (Screenshot 2)

Archibus has a very poor inventory system, specialy in terms of control of inventory transactions, any craftsperson can modify inventory whitout storage manager or supervisor approval, and this is a very serious risk for inventory managers, because they don't have the control of their storages. So, it would be great if this feature is added asap.
