The order lifecycle
Draft, Planned, Released, In Progress, Completed — what the five phases mean and which transitions happen on their own.
-
Status & allowed transitions
Why an order currently cannot be canceled, completed or reset — the full transition table with roles and locks.
-
Work steps: milestone and buffer
Two task settings with a big impact: the milestone marks a point in time instead of work, and the buffer creates room between the steps.
-
Maintaining templates
Define recurring workflows once as a template: steps, default durations, stations, and sequences — managed centrally under Settings.
-
Material per order
Record requirements, track withdrawals, see open quantities — the order's Material tab and its two withdrawal locks.
-
Schedule & assign in one step
Set date, team and work location in one pass and release directly — the conclusion of the scheduling dialog, for quote-based and directly created orders alike.
-
Canceling an order
Canceling is final — but Gantway cleans up as it does so: timers are saved and withdrawn material can go back into inventory. Here is exactly what happens.
-
Duplicating an order
Start a proven order afresh as a copy — with all steps, dependencies and materials. What is carried over and what deliberately is not.
-
Recalculating deadlines
Changed the start date or the planning mode? Gantway shows in advance what would shift — and you decide. What stays fixed and what moves.
-
Order costing: pre- and post-costing
Plan versus actual: what should the order cost, what did it cost? The costing tab with freezing, versions and the premium post-costing.
-
The trash
Deleted by mistake? Everything can be restored for 30 days. What really happens when you delete and when you bring something back.
-
Comments on the order
Agreements where they belong: on the order. With @-mentions, tags for questions and blockers — and internal comments the workshop cannot see.
-
The history: who did what and when?
Releases, status changes, material withdrawals — the History tab shows the order's most recent events. For Admins and Planners.
-
Creating a maintenance contract
Set the interval, first due date, lead time and template — so the recurring order later appears on its own.
-
How maintenance orders appear automatically
The daily run creates the order as a draft as soon as the lead time kicks in — what you see, who gets notified, and how to stop a contract.
-
Is my order still on schedule?
The deadline banner on the order, the progress column in the list, the warning triangle on stalled steps — and the precise route via the baseline.
