ECR/ECO Authorization on system statuses - Coding help requested

HI PLM Gurus,
Unfortunately ( or that ,,,Iam not aware of)There is no SAP standard Authorization object to control a user setting a particular system status in ECR/ECO. This means by SAP's standard functionality any user who is authorized with authorization objects ECM_REQ and ECM_ORD in their role and all activities allowed, can set any statuses in ECR /ECO.
But typical business requirment in any change management requires the control status wise and so do we have one.
We knew this can be achieved by a custom authorization object. We have created a manual object but need help with coding to get the current status of the object for matching the authorization (allowed) values .
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Satya

Thanks Pranav,
Just to clarify ,I knew about the exit and Iam using the same exit, I was trying to get help on the coding part . Identifying Exit is not a problem .( we have used this exit a number of times for different requirements in ECM, like checking the lab/office field for an object before setting a system status , defaulting a new version of document etc)
Update : Got a parameter ( a dynamic field value)which helped us code very easily
,,,,Can share with you .
For system level authorization checks ,one can use Digital signatures and this might be the reason for not having(SAP not providing) a standard authorization object for "system status check "in Standard SAP ECM Authorizations.
Thanks a bunch for the response.
Rgds,
Satya.

Why not all fields dimmed or show in display mode after system status TECO and CLSD for Project

Dear All,
When Sets the system status TECO or even CLSD all fields for WBS Elements are not goes to Display mode. User can still edit them or change then.
The fields are:
1. WBS Element Description, technical name: PRPS-POST1
2. Person responsible number, technical name: PRPS-VERNR
Other Progress and Customer enhancement tab pages for WBS Element all fields there also editable in TECO and CLSD system status.
The client do not want to set LOCK system status for master data option.
Is there any enhancement or standard way of doing that?
Regards
Saqib Usman

Dear Saqib,
Its a standard behavior of the system. In CLSD status, transactional data like Procurement gets restricted along with WBSE no and its scheduling details. But it allows to you change like WBSE desc./Responsible person.
Also go thru the below link for clarification of WBSE system status:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/ee/41f82246ee11d189470000e829fbbd/content.htm
For locking all master data, as above experts suggest, you should use MDLK/LKD.

Claim notification system status

Hi....I am facing an issue with the system status change.
I need to set the system status to APOK("Give Approval") when a Claims notification(CLM1/2/3) is approved and then have to set it to NOCO("Complete").
I am using the function module "STATUS_CHANGE_INTERN" to set the system status. I am doing it thru a background task.
The issue is...when the status is set thru the normal transaction (CLM2), the system status APRQ ("Approval Requested") gets replaced with APOK but when this step is executed, the system only adds APOK and APRQ also remains as an active system status.
Can anyone explain this behaviour.
I am looking for a solution on how to set the system status APOK thru a background task.
Thanks,
Ram.

Hi Ram
There are 2 status. user status and system status. You need to populate the correct filed and in the background method change the correct status. This will work. I think you might me be wrongly updating the status of the notification or document no status. Check this once.

Change names from ECR/ECO system status screen (cc01, cc02)

Hi all,
Im working with ECM main screen (CC01, CC02) and the names assigned in the Standard process are not meeting tour needs and some steps are missing in order to cover all the specifications.
If in a easy way I could change the name of the system status steps ( for instance change Convert ECR into Start modifications) will be great and, if this change could be link to a type of ECR would be like a dream because this will meet all the client requirement.
Any comment or suggestion in how to do that? User status are not valid :S
Many thanks in advance
Alberto

Hi alberto,
I think you can't change it from "Convert ECR" to "Start Modifications" but you can use create your own Statuses as required and can be control through Status Profile where in you define this. and in first screen of CC31 or CC01 you need to make this "Profile" Field as Mandatory.
Change type can also be linked to Profile, this way your client requirement will be fulfiled.
Hope this will solve the problem

System status and user status for ECR

Hello,
As per our requirement, we have defined some 7 user statuses. We need to link system status with user status
How to link the user status with system status or is user status needs to be selected manually in every status of ecr
Thanks.
Anirudh,

The user statuses are
unassigned - workflow is not initiated,
pending - change is not submitted to analyst who reroute it to change board,
cancelled - change is cancelled,
submitted - subimitted to analyst for routing to change board,
hold,
released,
implemented - ECO complete
We change only Document through ECR.
We want to link system status to these above user status.
The user tracks ECR by means of user status and not system status.
Anirudh,

CRM_MKTPL System and User Status coding

In Market Planner (CRM_MKTPL) you can change system status (this is different from other areas of CRM)
I've set up a status profile with system status.
I've coded a BADI CRM_MKTPL to make sure users can only pick system status.
But how (in the BADI) can I change the system status (There is a Status_change method in this badi) but I can't see the system status or see how to change it.

sounds like you only want to show user status and not system status
In the badi, there is a method status_change
data: ls_bal_s_msg type          BAL_S_MSG
if im_user_status is initial AND
     im_check_mode = 'X'.
    ls_bal_s_msg-msgty = 'E'.
    ls_bal_s_msg-msgid = '???'.
    ls_bal_s_msg-msgno = '???'.
    append ls_bal_s_msg to et_return.
    exit.
endif.
Where ??? is your own message id and number defined in SE91. The system never shows the message, but takes the hint that you don't want the system status displayed.

System Status Authorizations for Marketing Plans and Campaigns

Hi Experts,
We are using the Standard System Statuses on the Marketing Planner like the Created , Released, Approved, Finished, Locked and Rejected. My requirement is to limit the access to the Users for these Statuses. For Example :
User 1 will have access to Created.
User 2 will have access to Aproved.
User 3 will have access to Aproved,Released, Create
How do I set the Authorizations for the System status based on the User? I tried creating Authorization Keys under Status Profiles, but I am not clear on where to assign them.
Please guide me.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi ,
Thanks for your input. I am planning to go with your second option to go with assigning the Authorization objects at the Marketing Plan and also at the Campaign level . My only concern here is will we be able to assign status specific authorizations here ?
The Authorization objects given are for change, create etc. There are no status specific authorization objects mentioned. My requirement is the person who creates the MP should have access to release it and only the approver should be able to see the approved status and change the status o approved.
Do you suggest using Authorization keys and assigning them ?If so where do we define the restictions on the Authorization keys like
Authorization Group 1 has authorization to Create , modify a MP and can only View / Change the statuses to Create and Release.
Authorization Group 2 has access to Modify and has access to change the statuses to Aproved.
Is there any way this can be achieved ? Please let me know if I am going in the right direction.
Regards,
Pooja

ECR/ECO & Object Mgmt Records

Hello All,
We are planning to implement the ECR/ECO process for the Engineering Change Process. I was trying to go thru the documentation for the same & seems overly complicated.
Can someone help me clarify the difference between ECR/ECO status & Object Mgmt Status & how they compliment each other in the system?? Couple of observations:
1. System allows ECR Check/Checked, Approval etc without an Object assignment, which doesnot make sense to me.
2. Once an ECR is created, there are certain actions that need to happen on the Object Mgmt Rec's before the further statuses can be activated on the ECR's. Where do I, on one single screen, see the status for both the ECR & the Obj Mgmt REc's.
If somebody can put these status things into perspective, it'll help clear the cob webs in my mind. I'm not able to figure out how I could fit this into my business, logically.
Cheers

Ok, I figured this one out. Release Strategies & effectivities are still a big confusion, though !!

Possible to set a system status that has been deleted again

Hi,
In the status profile, we have mapped the user status 'Approved' to ' CFAP Approve".
When we set the status of the transaction to 'approved', the system status of "TBAP To Be Approved" gets deleted in the system (this can be seen from the transaction BS33 by entering the system status CFAP).
As part of my requirement, I need to be able to allow the user to bring the status of the document back to 'To be approved'.
The lowest and highest status numbers are set such that the user can set the status of 'to be approved' from a document in the status 'approved'. The authorization key to set the status of 'to be approved' is also assigned to the user's role.
However, in the system, I do not see the option of selecting status value of 'to be approved' when I go to change mode of the transaction. Is it because of the fact that 'TBAP' system has been deleted? Is there someway I can allow it again?
Thanks
(will gladly award points for useful answers)

Hello Jaya,
The problem seems to be caused by the lowest/highest status number set in the user status profile.
Based on the rules and user status profile settings:
- The status currently active determines the upper limit of the subsequent status.
- The status with status number which was the highest one ever active for the object determines the lower limit for the status number of the subsequent status.
For example, if there is the status profile set as following:
Number   Status     Lowest    Highest
10           AAAA     10            40
20           BBBB       30           40
30           CCCC       20           40
40           DDDD       30           40
Whent status DDDD is set on, then CCCC and DDDD should be available in the drop down list.
Once you move back to CCCC, now the lowest and highest allowed status is 30(from DDDD's lowest)~40, so you will not see BBBB in the drop down list.
I hope this could be helpful.
Best regards,
Maggie

ECR/ECO Workflow not working for multiple Objects

Hello all,
We have implemented ECR/ECO workflow by customizing the SAP standard one. We are facing a problem when entering multiple ECO objects such as mutiple Documents, materials, BOMs etc. When we create the ECR, two parralel workflow start (one for ECM and other for ECO) and depending on how many ECO objects we have included, multiple instances of ECO workflows will trigger (I think this is the standard behaviour as well but not sure)
In our workflow, we have a wait step in ECO workflow that waits until ECM has been converted into ECO (ECOP status) and starts the ECO workflow. Also, we have created a Wait step in ECM workflow and that waits until the ECO workflows have reached the CONFIRMATED Step when the processing of the objects are finished.
When we enter one object, both workflows start and ECO waits until ECM has been converted into ECO and then start the processing the Objects. when the ECO workflow is done (Status confirmated), it switches back to ECM workflow and then goes on with Close/Release steps of the Objects/ECO etc.
But, when we have multiple ECO objects, both start well as ECR converts to ECO and the ECO starts and then work items are processed but then stops just before the CONRIMATED steps even though all objects are changed/maintained properly and ECO workflows are completed. As a result, the control doesn't refer back to ECM and we never get the ECO close and Release step work items.
I have checked SWETYPV, SWEL, business objects ECM and ECO but nothing gives a result..
Any help would be appreciated..
Thanks

Can you please update on what is the status in the workflow log. You can check this from SWIA tcode.
If it is in process step please check for ST22 dump if any.
Thanks

Posibilities of user and system status?

Hi CRM experts,
I've some doubts respect the user and system status configuration.
My client wants to stop the upload process (to R3 site) of a Sales Order document, regarding a specific user status. Then, they want to restore the uploading process regarding into a specific user status different from the firts one.
User Status -             System Status
Status 1 -                Stop uploading process
Status 2 -                Restore the uploading process
I made the following customizing in my status profile (assigned to my Sales Order transaction)
User Status - Transaction Control - Forbidden - Set
Status 1 -     To be distributed -    X -           X
Status 2 -     empty -           empty -           empty
When I save a Sales Order in Status 1, the BDOC is correctly generated and the document is not present in R3 environment. The problem occurs when I modify the Status, from Status 1 to Status 2. The document is in R3 environment (???) but the generated BDOC remains in Yellow light.
Is correct to implement this uploading behaviour regarding a user status like my configuration? May I implement some checks on the upload BADI better?
I need some help in these questions please.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
It might be easier if you could come to a scenario were one specific user status should trigger the distribution. Then you have a direct link between a user status & a system status, meaning that there is no need for additional coding.
If the bdoc remains in intermediate state, then that means there's an error in the queues or a short dump. check transactions smq1 & smq2 and ST22 in both systems.
