How to restrict manual setting of User Status?

Hi,
I have created an User Profile where a particular User Status is "set" based on the Business Transaction "Release".
However, we are also allowed to set this User Status manually without carrying out the Business Transaction "Release".
How do I restrict manual setting of those User Statuses that are "set" based on a Business Transaction?
Raj

Pete,
I did read that post. But it is about providing authorisation to set a Status for an User.
The case I am referring is, an User Status is auto set by a Bus. Trans Release. But I am also permitted to set the status transition manually. This way, Users tend to skip Releasing the Service Order. This is affecting upstream processes.
Is there a way where we can restrict manual setting of User Statuses that have to be normally auto set by Bus. Transactions?

Set a User Status for Quality Notifications only if they are "Activated".

Hello experts:
I need to be able to set a User Status for Quality Notifications only if they are "Activated".
When defects are recorded for an inspection lot, a "Defect Notification" is created which can be activated to become a "Quality Notification". Initially, the only difference between the inactive "Defect Notification" and the active "Quality Notification" is that the system status DEFR is active for the "Defect Notification", but is cleared when the notification is activated.
So, I'm looking for the business process associated with the Activation to use as a trigger for my own user status.
I checked the business rules for status DEFR and found that the following processes clear this status
PMM1 - Postpone Notification
PMM2 - Put Notification In Process
PMM3 - Assign Order
PMM6 - Put Notification In Process Again
Any Ideas ?

Perhaps some additional information would help you understand what I need to do.
For notification type F3, we are recording all defects found in production.
Most of these are expected defects that result in a minor reduction in yield.
For this type of defect, we do not activate the notification, and the inspection lot is closed automatically at the end of production.
However, sometimes defects are observed of an unexpected type or a higher than expected quantity.
When this happens we manually activate the notification and assign tasks to find and correct the cause.
It is only for these activated notifications that I want to automatically set a user status, which among other things, will prevent the notification from being closed until some other actions are complete and a different user status is selected.
The function of the user status currently works exactly as I want, but if it is set as the initial status for all F3 notifications, it is also preventing the un-activated defect notifications from automatically closing. I therefore want to use the Activation event as the trigger to set my user status.

System Status MSPT cannot set a user status

When creating a user status for PM orders (transaction OIBS) we have a user status WOM (waiting on material). The user status profile is assigned to the PM order Object type. We want the user status WOM to be automatically set when the system status MSPT is active. However, there is no business transaction for "missing parts" or "material shortage", etc. How can I get system status MSPT to set a user status automatically?

Marc,
If its not possible by business transaction, then you will need to develop something.
Its pretty straight forward by utilising user-exit IWO10009 and function module STATUS_CHANGE_EXTERN

BIAPPS how can we manually set both ETL start date and end date?

Dears experts,
how can we manually set both ETL start date and end date while conducting incremental load IN DAC?
Please advise me.

You can set those dates in the DAC system parameters tab. You should see lots of $$xxxxxx parameters.
If I may, I'd suggest you use the OBI Applications forum for questions on DAC.

How to set a user status (complete) when ever system status is set complete

Experts,
We have configured status profile and few user status (say open, pre-release, complete) and assigned the status profile to the item category(zxxx).
The problem we have is if we have a service order that is created with the item (item category zxxx) -- Say the header status is open and the item status is pre-release. Now end user comes and sets the header status to completed - then the item status is still set pre-release. It is not changing to complete as expected.
Yes, the Item system status is set to completed but not the user status. How do I configure to set a complete user status when the header and item system status are set to completed.
Thank you
Edited by: ram on May 4, 2010 8:51 PM

I am not sure if this can be "reverse engineered" in Status profile.
But here is some hint. You can use the BAdI CRM_ORDER_STATUS mehtod AFTER_CHANGE and actually break when the Header status is changed, and set the item status as desired.

How to restrict manual change to exchange rate.

Hello
Requirement:
Our requirement is we want to control the manual exchange rate entry(user type or otherwise) at different form e.g. AP Invoice screen,AR Invoice,GL JV.
What ever the rate defined pops up,should only be used for transactions and no scope should be given to user to change the rate.
Process:
Our process is that We have a boundary system and we manually enter the rates daily and upload to Oracle Application by running a program interfaced with the boundary system.The rates fetched from the boundary system sits in daily rate form as spot rate.
The profile option "AR: Default Exchange Rate Type" has value "spot".
Similarly in payable option the rate given as "spot".
Solution provided by our consultant:
We have Below clarification from the consultant Oracle team on controlling who can enter exchange rates manually vs who can not.
Pls see response for both sub ledger and general ledger transactions. An ability to limit manual exchange rate entry & view is, therefore, available in Oracle.
In Oracle, the transactions are created in subledgers and manual journals are created in General Ledger.The defaulting of exchange rate type is done separately for different subledgers. For General Ledger (creating manual journals) the control is separate.
1)For transactions originating in subledgers , for eg.Accounts Receivable, the name of the profile option is "AR: Default Exchange Rate Type" and looking at your requirement, this should be set at "Corporate" and not "User" or "Spot". Setting it at Corporate, will make the application look at the predefined corporate rates. Similarly for transactions (invoices/payments) in Accounts Payable, the defaulting can be configured through payable options.
2)For manual journals , the defaulting of exchange rate type is controlled separately. This can also be secured by definition access set which will prevent unauthorized changes to rate type.
Questions:
1.Can we take their suggest given our process that changing the rate to corporate will restrict manual intervention of the user.
2.whether definition access set feature available in 11.5.10.2 and if so how can we configure.
3.What is the best way to restrict user from manual intervention.

Hello.
For the mentioned forms, you can use Forms Personalization to force users to use a certain type(s) of exchange rate.

How to see system status in spro. How to assign business transaction to user status.

Hi All,
How to see system status in spro. can we change system status in spro for maintenance order.kindly share.
Also share how can we assign business transaction to user status for maintenance order

Peter,
You cannot see the system-status in SPRO.
You can view the system-statuses via BS23.
Be warned - it is NOT advisable to change the system-status setting as you may screw-up your system. Remember that many statuses are used across multiple objects and multiple modules.

Set a User Status depending on System Status

Hi,
I would like to activate a user status of the sales document depending on the Rejection Status.
Do you know how this could be done?
Thanks
Edited by: mforman on Feb 25, 2011 11:54 AM

I've created a Status Profile with the Object Types: Sales Order header and Sales Order item.
But I don't know which Business Transaction I should allow/set in order to get this status set once a rejection reason is assigned to an item.
Any suggestion? Or workaround?
Thanks

PM order for set/reset user status

I have one requriement like this I need to update the user status for many operations of single PM order at a time when user sets or resets the status. Kindly let me know is there any function module or any bapi for this or can you suggest me how to proceed with the further actions to handle this.
thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Jaya,
Before i tell you the FM, there is something u must know about changing the user statuses in PM.
User statuses are sequential in nature. Eg, if current user status is 15 and you want to set the new status to 30, you must set it to 20, then 25 and then finally 30.
For this you must first fetch all the valid statuses for the PM order depending on its status profile.
Next, call the following FM repeatedly each time passing the next status number in sequence until you reach the desired status number:
'STATUS_CHANGE_EXTERN'.
Hope this is helpful.
Thanks,
Sonal

How to insert a new customized user status in an existing business transaction?

Hi Gurus:
We have a service request where we need a new user status, but I have in a productive system service requests created already.
We customized the new user status for the transaction type that we are using, but how to retrieve in the old business transactions created this new user status?
Is there a way to insert the new customizing in old transactions? Is possible to force by some ABAP code to insert the new user status in some old business transactions?
I'll appreciate your inputs.

How does the "Manually Set EV"dialog box in "Merge to HDR Pro" work?

What is the "Manually Set EV"dialog box in "Merge to HDR Pro" for?
Do these values affect the HDR results?
Since the source images are chosen in the first dialog of "Merge to HDR Pro"
why do we need to set EV manually here?
Besides, after I tried different values to compare the results
the "Manually Set EV"dialog box has disappeared how can I get it back?
THANKS

If the files you are merging don't have metadata giving their exposure values (time, aperture, ISO), then MergeToHDR prompts you for the relative exposure values.
If your files have the metadata, then there is no need to enter the values manually.
