Start Work Assignment for Request Task
Explanation
This activity is used to indicate that work has started on a Request Task assigned to a
resource. Starting the work assignment updates the task status and signals that execution is in progress. This
helps track task progress and ensures accurate resource utilization.
This activity is typically performed when:
- The assigned resource is ready to begin work on the
request task.
- The task has been reviewed and all prerequisites, such
as material and tools, are available.
Prerequisites
- The request task must be assigned to a resource.
- The task must be in a status that allows work to start
(for example, Released or higher).
- The resource must have access rights to start work
assignments in the relevant process.
System Effects
- The task status is updated to indicate that work has
started (for example, Started or In Progress).
- The start time is recorded for the assigned
resource.
- Related workflows, such as enabling time reporting and
material usage, are triggered.
- The task becomes available for completion or further
execution steps.
