Work Order synonym statuses to indicate the period of planning and scheduling

Work is planned prior to approval but there is no status to say that the work order is waiting to be planned (WPLAN) or that it has been planned (PLANNED). We also want to know how long it took to be planned, hence work order status changes would help to identify both when and the period of time it took.

Similarly for the scheduling period, there is an existing status waiting to be scheduled (WSCH) but no synonym status to indicate that the work order is SCHEDULED and waiting for the schedule start date to arrive before a technician initiates the work order and moves it to INPRG.

Easy to add these through configuration, but the Maximo product should be leading clients to adopt a better practise. It would also be more meaningful for Planning and Scheduling dashboards to use these statuses.
