Service request life cycle

Although service requests inherit characteristics from the SRD on which they are based, they go through various states to indicate their position in the life cycle. Approvals can be required for certain state transitions. A service request might also send notifications at certain points in its life cycle to alert users that a certain event has occurred. 

Service requests go through many state transitions as they progress.

Important

  • The In Review state is an internal, temporary status.
  • In BMC Remedy with Smart IT, the Initiated status is called Planning. For more information, see Submitting service requests using Smart IT Open link
  • There is no mapping between the status of a request generated on the Request Entry console and the statuses of fulfillment application requests that the request generates.

The following table defines all the possible state transitions of service requests from one state to another state. Notifications are generated when the state changes or an error occurs.

Service requests can transition from Completed to Pending or In Progress if the fulfillment application is configured to allow this status transition.
