Adding Conditions in the Why Screen

If the Why screen indicates that a job is waiting for prerequisite conditions, the indicated conditions can be manually added from the Why screen by entering option A (Add Condition) in the OPT (Option) field next to the condition.

Specify option A for every condition to be added, and press Enter.

When adding conditions, a confirmation window may be displayed depending on User profile customization:

By default, when option A is specified in the Why screen, a confirmation window is displayed only when the condition’s date reference contains the generic characters **** or $$$$. Addition of conditions without generic date references is performed without confirmation from the user.

If, however, the User profile has been customized accordingly, the following confirmation window is always displayed when option A is specified:
