  Status" fields correctly displays COMP status.
  But "Material Status Last Updated" field still displays the
  timestamp when the WO was approved by the 2nd time (in this
  example, 9/4/21 11:10 AM). This is the problem.
  
  EXPECTED RESULTS:

  and time when Receiving set both "Direct Issue Material Status"
  and "Work Package Material Status" fields to COMP (in this
  example, 9/6/21 8:40 AM).
