Ordinance Ready Reserved Names
I have a question that I hope can be resolved. I have reserved some names from my family files and then released them to the temple. When I go into the Temple Ordinance File to print names for sealings to spouses these names continue to come up even though they are not ready to be sealed as all the females need all their work completed before this can happen. Do you have a solution as to how I can over ride this mistake on the file? I have tried multiple time to print the names for sealing and the five same names keep coming up for the ordinances. Is there a way to check that all the ordinances have been completed before clearing the names for ordinance work on the Family Search side? I would like to continue using this program asap.

The information below is from the FamilySearch Help Center. The system will allow you to complete the Sealings before the other Ordinances but they do not take effect until the others are completed.
The Ordinances Ready feature allows sealings to be done before the individual ordinances. It is acceptable to perform these sealing-to-spouse ordinances without checking that the individual ordinances have been performed.

Thank you for that answer. I won't worry about the other ordinances then.

Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.
I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
[ And, I happen to be a Member o the Church ... ]
This is an ongoing dilemma, for many Members of the Church.
The matter, has been canvased, on numerous occasions, in the various 'iterations' for the 'FamilySearch' Forums.
Further to what has already proffered ...
In regards to "Sealing to Spouse" ...
Really, the choice is yours, whether or not, to do the "Temple" Work of "Sealing to Spouse" that OrdinanceReady" provides.
Short Answer:
'Yes', you can proceed, with the "Temple" Work of "Sealing to Spouse" that OrdinanceReady" provides.
[ If you so desire; but, of course, you DO NOT have to, if you do not want to. ]
As an aside ...
One does not really have to be too concerned ...
We have been advised, that regardless if "Ordinances" are done 'Out of Sequence', not to worry; as, those "Ordinances" that are done 'Out of Sequence' simply DO NOT take effect, UNTIL the prerequisite "Ordinances" are "Completed".
And, most importantly ...
"Ordinances" that are done 'Out of Sequence' DO NOT have to be done again; as, they are STILL "Valid".
Here are some "Knowledge Articles" in 'FamilySearch':

In the other of the aforementioned "Knowledge Article":
Correct order of temple ordinances
https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/correct-order-of-temple-ordinances
It also states, among other things:
Quote
------------------
It is preferred that sealings be done after individual ordinances, but it is not required. Family Tree does not enforce the order of sealings for deceased persons. A deceased couple can be sealed before their individual ordinances are done. Likewise, a deceased child can be sealed to deceased parents before the parents are sealed and before the parents’ individual ordinances are done.

Notes:
...
- Ordinances Ready does not determine if pre-requisite ordinances have been completed when sealing-to-spouse ordinances are requested. Please ensure that baptism, initiatory and endowment have been completed for each individual before proceeding with a sealing ordinance.

So, basically ...
Do not be too concerned ...
'Yes', you can proceed, with the "Temple" Work of "Sealing to Spouse" that OrdinanceReady" provides.
[ If you so desire; but, of course, you DO NOT have to, if you do not want to. ]
The choice is yours.
And ...
In regards to "Sealing to Parents" ...
Remember, that the "Temple" Work, relates to the Child; and, NOT, the to Parents.
So ...
That Said ...
Regardless, of the status, of "Temple" Work of the Parents, the "Sealing to Parents" for a Child CAN be undertaken.

I know that this might not give you comfort and address your concerns; but, I hope that this gives you, some more, insight; and, perspective.
