Delivery is the action you perform in the Working Set to send your plans to the Current Set.

To create a Delivery, in the Working Set, check the box next to the plan you want to deliver and select the icon Create Delivery. A window will appear in which you can add your plan to New delivery or Add to delivery (which already exists in drafts). If no approvers are assigned, the plan goes directly to the Current Set and is visible to everyone on the project.

In case there is an assigned approver, ie a person who has to review the plan, the plan will go to the Current Set after the approval is given. If your plans are not in the Current Set, they may be pending or rejected. If this is the case, they will not be visible in your Current Set. Go to Deliveries, to check plan status.

You cannot deliver a plan that has already been delivered to make it easier to keep track of plan changes. Otherwise, it would create confusion. Once sent, all involved users can see it. Any new changes must go through the delivery process again.

The approver reviews the plans and decides whether the plan is approved or rejected. In case the plan is approved, it proceeds to the Current Set. If it is rejected, you can make changes and resubmit it to the approver.
