Change Contractor Order Status

Explanation

Use this activity to track and monitor all status changes that occur during the lifecycle of a Contractor Order. This tracking ensures that:

Every change in the Contractor Order status is recorded, along with the timestamp and the user who made the change.
All status change events are accessible in the Events tab (under the Attachments section).
The Service Provider can see a new event entry whenever a status change occurs.
