hi
Using status management, you can find out about the processing status of a business transaction, and change individual statuses. Each status informs you at header and item level that a specific status has occurred (for example, quotation has been released), and specifies which step may be executed next (for example, release is allowed).
*user status*
A status set by the user to complement the system status for a given status object.
You can use only a user status belonging to a status profile (defined in Customizing) and assigned to the relevant status object.
User statuses enable you to extend the control of business processes managed by the system status. You can set and delete user statuses manually when carrying out business transactions.
*System Status*
A status the SAP System sets internally as a part of general status management.
This status tells the user that a certain business transaction was performed for an object.
moreover using user status is customised,you can mainatian your own user uset status and control the system response as decided by the system status
for this you can make your status profile which when you atach to your transaction can be used in particular transaction*
*Status Profile*
A profile used to control user statuses.
A status profile is created by the user in general status management.
In a status profile you can:
Define the sequence in which user statuses can be activated*
Define initial statuses*
Allow or prohibit certain business transactions*
*more about system status*
Each marketing project goes through various system statuses, one of which is always set:
·        Created
·        Released
·        Finished or Rejected
·        Locked
·        In Process
·        Approved
*System Status Overview*
*Created (CRTE)*
Use
In the Created status, you structure the marketing project and enter plan values and dates.
Features
This system status is the initial status for new marketing projects. The status is set automatically when you create a new marketing project.
The status does not allow you to:
·        Transfer to ERP
·        Transfer the target group to the channel
*Released (REL)*
*Use*
Structuring is complete and the marketing project is released for the operative execution of the marketing activities.
Prerequisites
The marketing project has the Created status.
Features
In the Released status, you can create new, lower-level marketing projects and change the hierarchy. The Released status is passed on automatically to lower-level marketing projects.
*Finished (FINI)*
Use
This status identifies a finished/completed marketing project. A marketing project with the Finished status can no longer be changed.
Prerequisites
The marketing project has the Released status.
Features
Lower-level marketing projects belonging to the same marketing project are also finished automatically. This does not apply to lower-level marketing projects that have the Finished or Rejected status.
You can revoke the Finished status. The system then automatically revokes the status for all upper-level marketing projects in the relevant marketing project. For this, it is prerequisite that none of the marketing projects on a higher level to the relevant marketing project are finished or rejected.
