# How to Set Inspection Status on Mercury Network®

## Overview

Mercury Network® allows you to manually update inspection milestones when a vendor does not send inspection status updates. Use the Set Status option to record a scheduled inspection date or mark an inspection as completed, ensuring the order status accurately reflects inspection progress and keeps stakeholders informed.
