Set Up Statuses for Service Orders and Repairs | Microsoft Docs

You must set up repair status options that identify the progress of repair and maintenance of service items in service orders. You must set up at least nine repair status options that identify situations or actions taken when servicing service items.

You can set the priority level for service order status options. There four priorities are High, Medium High, Medium Low, and Low.

When you change the repair status of a service item in a service order, the service order status is updated. The repair status of each service item is linked to the service order status. If the service items are linked to two or more service order status options, the service order status with the highest priority is selected.
