OriginsNext uses a few status labels to show how complete and current an Order's evidence is. The label and where it appears depend on what you are looking at:
Status | Where it appears | What it means |
Action required | Order Compliance tab (requirement) | The requirement is not yet satisfied; evidence still needs to be generated, added or completed. |
Complete | Order Compliance tab (requirement or supporting requirement) | The requirement (or supporting requirement) is satisfied. |
Incomplete | Order Compliance tab (supporting requirement) | A supporting check within a requirement is not yet met. |
Valid | An Evidence record | The evidence is within its effective and expiry dates. |
Active / Archived | Evidences and Evidence Templates lists | Whether the record or template is in active use or has been archived. |
Optional | Order Compliance tab (supporting requirement) | The supporting requirement is optional, as set on the Evidence Template, and shows an Optional badge. If it is not met, it stays listed but does not affect the Order's compliance status, so the Order can still reach Complete. |
These labels describe OriginsNext's own checks, not whether anything meets a regulation. You decide when an Order is ready: an Order can reach Complete with optional requirements unmet, and a report can be generated while some items are still outstanding.
