Functionality of OM statuses Active, Planned Submitted Approved & Rejected

Hi gurus,
I want to understand the functionality & concept of the statuses in Tx PO13, PO10 etc
We see
1.Active
2.Planned
3.Submitted
4.Approved
5.Rejected
my question is regarding a requirement.
We need if some object is created that should be submitted for approval and in  this case e-mails shud be triggered for approval to superiors. Once that is approved the created object shud exist as a valid object in system, otherwise should exist in system but not as an active object and cannot not be used for assigning holders. I mean should not be a valid object.
I want to know if these statuses will help doing it with work-flows and can we restrict the user to use only one of the five statuses..
Pls advise ...
Regards,
Anil Kumar

Hi,
Status identifies the current standing that an object or infotype record has within an organizational plan. Status also affects the type of editing you can do. There are five statuses available:
Active
Planned
Submitted
Approved
Rejected
Objects with different status can appear in the same plan version. The active objects could represent current operations at your firm, and the planned objects could represent changes you plan to make, for example, adding a new department or new position.
Use
You must assign a status to every object and infotype record you create. However, you do not need to use all the statuses. Many users choose only to use active status.
How you apply status to objects and infotype records in Organizational Management, depends on the method you use to maintain an organizational plan u2013 Detail Maintenance, Simple Maintenance, or Structural Graphics.
Status attributes:
Active
Indicates that an object is currently operable. You have unrestricted activities u2013 you can create, change, display, delimit, delete and list when using active objects.
Planned
Indicates that an object is proposed or anticipated, but not currently operable. You can create, change, display, delimit, delete and list when using planned objects.
Submitted
Indicates that an object has been submitted for review and subsequent approval/rejection. You cannot create objects with submitted status. Nor can you make changes.
Approved
Indicates that an object, previously sumitted for review, is accepted or authorized. By changing the status to active, you can edit the object (create, change, display, delimit, delete and list).
Rejected
Indicates that an object is rejected or turned down. You can only display objects with rejected status. However, you can change the status to planned so that you can work with the object again.
There are two ways you can change the status applied to objects and infotype records, in Organizational Plan:
Run the report RHAKTI00 (Change Object Status) for selected objects or infotype records
Change the status of objects and infotype records one at a time in Detail Maintenance
It is not possible to change the status of objects or infotype records in Structural Graphics or Simple Maintenance.

  • Function to change CATS status to released for approval

    I have a requirement where I need to change in batch cats records from status 10 to status 20 'released for approval'
    I can't find how to change the status in  BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_CHANGE
    and another function CATS_APPROVAL only works for approving or rejection of records.
    is there another bapi or function which I can use to change the record status of cats ?
    or the other way around is also acceptable that I can set the status back from '20' released for approval to '10' locked.
    kind regards

    when debugging cat2 I found a form which handles the release for approval. but I'm nog sure if there is more to it. for so far I can see it updates the status directly and that's it. when I go further on I come in the screenpainter prog. any clues if it's normal to use this code for my own abap ??
    further on I don't understand the function of ASSIGN_FIELDS_IN_ICATSD ?

  • Function types for Balance Sheet Planning missing in SEM-BPS 6.0

    Hi BPS experts,
    After upgrading our BI-system from SEM 4.0 to SEM 6.0 (level 10) as part of the upgrade from BW 3.5 to BI 7.0 (level 15), the BPS function types for balance sheet planning are not available in the planning environment (Transaction code BPS0).
    According to the SAP Library the balance sheet planning functions in SEM-BPS comprises of 6 standard function types - one of them is "Depreciation":
    <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem60/helpdata/en/0a/242537cedf2056e10000009b38f936/frameset.htm">help.sap.com -> Business Planning and Simulation (BW-BPS)</a>   
    Menu path: Business Planning Functions -> Functions for Balance Sheet Planning
    In our existing SEM 4.0 we are using "Depreciation" and the functions based on this function type are of course short dumping when executed in our upgraded system (SEM 6.0) as the function type does not exist here.
    Odd though - we do have the function type "Allocation" available in SEM 6.0, which should be delivered with SEM together with the Balance Sheet Planning function types (It is listed directly under "Business Planning Functions" in the SAP Library) .
    I have tried to figure out whether we missed out on activating something during or after the system installation, but our basis consultant has not found anything in the installation guides related to this issue. Also I was wondering whether it could be a simple matter of activating some Business Content but without any luck.
    Does anybody know why the Balance Sheet Function Types are not available in SEM-BPS 6.0?
    Kind regards,
    Lars

  • ECM Plan with no budget, planning, or approval for hourly union employees

    We are implementing Enterprise Compensation Management at my company.  We are on 6.0 Ehp5.  One of our requirements is for a General Increase Plan (Salary Adjustment) for union employees.  There is no approval process for this plan.  Once top leadership has approved the increase (outside of SAP) every eligible employeeu2019s base pay is increased by the same percentage.  Also, this group of employees has fixed pay per job.  We use table T510 to store their pay scales and levels.  So we normally increase the values in T510 by the approved percentage and then create new IT0008 via mass upload. 
    Since we are implementing ECM and want this plan to be administered through ECM, my question is about how that should work.  I was thinking that we would use PECM_CREATE_COMP_PRO to create the Compensation Process record and bring to the minimum.  I am not sure if this transaction looks at T510 or just T710 or the Planned Compensation (HRP1005).  I assume we would then use PECM_CHANGE_STATUS to change the status to u201CApprovedu201D (not sure if the IT0759 has to be in Appoved status before being activated).  Lastly we would use PECM_CHANGE_STATUS to Activate the Compensation Process infotypes.  Does this sound like the way to handle a plan where every eligible employee gets the same % increase or do you know of a best practice you could share?

    Hi Vishal,
    Nice to see your reply, i am having SAP_ALL permissions in the backend system, my user id was attached to employee, that employee is top level manager, i am able to see employees successfully in MSS 600 Compensation Approval WebDynpro JAVA application for Approval and Rejection, but i am not able to see employeed in MSS 604 (EHP4) Review Planning(Compensation Approval) WebDynpro ABAP application.
    When i am trying to execute that application even i am not able to see any errors, the screen looks fine, only in the table it displays " table does not contain data"
    If you have any idea please help me on this one.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Babu.

  • PO status always remains "AWAITING APPROVAL" - WF error

    Hi all,
    We are working on SRM 5.0 SP13 ,ECS.
    We have implemented the workflow WS14000145 for PO approval.Now when I perform a consistency check at SWUD for WFL  WS14000145,I get the foll errors:
    E.     WS14000146     POSub.n-Step Subworkflow N-Step for PO (BADI)

    How do I correct the above errors for the workflow?
    Also because of the above WF errors,I am unable to close some of the PO's .When I try to close the PO's(by checking the indicators "No further confirmations expected " and  "No further invoices expected " under Item data-->statistics),the indicators remain checked but the PO status always remains "AWAITING APPROVAL".When I click on the approval preview(graphical view),I see message "Error .click for details" and under table view ,I see "NO APPROVAL REQUIRED".
    In order to close the above PO's,is there any workaround or other way I can change the status of the PO temporarily to atleast be able to close the PO's?
    Please advise.

    Thanks Muthu!The note does seem relevant but I am still confused due to a new observation
    Another observation :
    The WF for PO approval is actually not activated in our system which means that this issue is not related to workflow .Additionally ,now I see some errors in the backend application monitor stating that "PO backend Transfer failed".
    So as Masa mentioned earlier,this issue could be more related to PO replication.I tried all ways to update the status for the PO and observed the foll:
    1. After running SW01,for the changed/latest  GUID of the PO,the PO header status did change to "ORDERED" but then under Item data-->statistics the indicator for confirmation was reset.When I tried to chekc the indicator to again close the PO,the PO header status again changed to "Awaiting Approval".
    2. Using FM  SWW_DLEETE_ITEM,deleted the work item(old) for the PO and tried to chnage the status as mentioned above.But the issue still remained.
    3.Tried to make the status "AWAITING APPROVAL" inactive by using FM "CRM_STATUS_UPDATE" but no success.In BBP_PD,the document status was updated(Awaiting approval inactive checked) but in the web portal,Under "Process Purcahse order" transaction,the PO header status still showed as "AWAITING APPROVAL"..
    Please advise.

  • Options to maintain persons in active plan version from a current plan vers

    Hi,
    We have two plan  version currently in use. Plan version 01 in the current status and plan version ZZ in the active status. Few employees are still with the current plan version and are active in the system.
    Can anyone guide me how  to maintain the Persons that are still with Plan Version 01 and active in the system ?
    Because we need to somehow maintain them also with ZZ otherwise our Ugraded  system wil not show all reports correctly...This would be considered as Masterdata correction....
    I mean how to move the persons from the plan version 01 to active plan version ZZ and how there relationships will be maintained.

  • Diff: Version on workflow builder and Maintain Active Plan version on SWU3

    Group,
    Can any one help me to understand the Version on workflow builder and Maintain Active Plan version on SWU3
    Thanks in advance !
    Richard A

    Dear Richard Antony,
    The Versioning in the Workflow is very important its some what simmilar to the version on any SAP Objets like Tables, Program etc.
    Here Suppose any change comes in working workflow, then in stead of directly change them you can create a version of them and them modify it. So that you can reverst back to that version if required.
    Like wise there is lots of importance of versioning Workflow.
    The Active Plan version is also important to establish at SWU3. As all the Workflow is using Organization management which is very depended on the Active Plan version. so based on which Plan version you want to use you can Provide in SWU3 to tell Workflow system to use this.
    Hope this will give you a clear picture.
    Regards,
    Chandrashekhar.

  • View for active Incidents related to WI (Problem) with status (Active) works but can't be changed.

    Hi,
    I wanted to create a view of Incidents which are linked to a Problem (any problem).
    I did a quick test using the Incident (advanced) class, selected to display Incidents with status Active and [Work Item] Is Related To Work Item and status for Problem with the status Active.
    At this first test I didn't bother to select any specific columns to display but just went with the pre-selected ( Description, Display Name, Display Name) and it worked. 
    I got a list of expected Incidents in the view but having the Description column made it quite useless.
    So, when I try to select the columns I find useful it will not update and it returns a No items found message instead.
    (image removed due to limitations)
    It is of course possible to group by one of the Display Name fields and collapse to get a more workable view but it still lacks a lot of good information. One would like to include ID, title, Created date,
    date modified, Display Name for Affected User and Assigned to user, and a few others.
    I was just a bit stumped as to why this fails when changing the columns on a view that obviously is possible to create.
    Thanks in advance,
    Daniel

    Consider using the Advanced View Editor( or
    the free edition), since it has much more robust criteria and column editing capabilities. 

  • How to get active plan version dynamically

    Hi all,
    I am making some HR reports in which I am pulling up position long text from hrp1001 by giving condition - where plavr = '01' . Now if the active plan version is not 01, my condition becomes vague.
    Please let me know how to determine the active plan version dynamically in my sample code below
    SELECT APERNR AOTYPE B~STEXT INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE ITAB_EMP_DEATILS3 FROM PA0001 AS A
    INNER JOIN HRP1000 AS B ON BOTYPE = AOTYPE AND BOBJID = APLANS WHERE ( BOTYPE = 'S' AND BPLVAR = '01' AND AENDDA = '99991231' AND BENDDA = '99991231') AND A~PERNR IN PNPPERNR.
    SORT ITAB_EMP_DEATILS3 BY PERNR.
    DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM ITAB_EMP_DEATILS3.

    Simply call FM RH_GET_PLVAR  

  • Change status(Active/Inactive) of file adapter by the external command

    Hi, all.
      Is it possible to change status(Active/Inactive) of file adapter by the external command?
      Let's say, like
      "$ switch_file_adapter_status.sh <File Adapter name> <active|inactive>"
    or something like that.
      Actually, we have the following requirement for the file adapter.
      For example, we have many "file adapter to R/3" scenarios and we only want to allow data transfer between 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.(R/3 service time).
      In order to achieve this requirement, one option would be to switch file adapter status between active and inactive by external command line.
    And this command will be controlled by the job scheduler(like Tivoli).
      Does XI(3.0 or above) have this kind of feature?
      Best Regards.

    Hi,
    I don't think that this is possible.
    But one Solution for your problem could be a job on xi who execute the Queue.
    So that Adapter work the hole time and send the Message to XI Queue which process them not automatically.
    And the XI Queue you can trigger with a Job like normal R/3 Jobs.
    Hope that helps,
    Regards,

  • Auto numbering Column id and filter this lookup id in another list based on status="active"

    Hi,
    I am trying to autonumbeirng the column id with default column ID. But it is not reset if i delete the list item. Also i want this id in another column which have status="Active". How i will do this?
    Thanks in Advance.
    Roopesh

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to reset the column ID when you delete the list item and then you want to filter the id in another list based on status.
    For resetting column id, there is no direct way to achieve it. I suggest you can save the list as a template and recreate the list. ID columns will always keep incrementing and will never be reused.
    Here is a similar thread about reset column ID for your reference:
