Possible to set a system status that has been deleted again

Question

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

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
