Solution for inheritage of user statuses in a WBS hierarchy

In a SAP 4.6C system I have set-up a specific user status profile for the WBS-hierarchy of a project. The intention is that at the highest WBS-level the user-status is changed manually and that the statuses of the lower WBS-elements will be changed automatically (just like the system statuses). As far as I know
this is not standard SAP and has to be developed
Is there anyone who has dealt with the same problem? How do you have handled this: user-exits, substitution etc.?
I hope somebody can help me.
Regards,
Paul

Dear Hensgens
You might know that as of release 4.70 the functions 'set & pass user status'
and 'revoke & pass user status' are part of the standard.
Please refer to note 486765.
There is the possibility to do a downgrade of this functionality, we are aware that other customers have done so.

Making a transaction read-only for a particular user status

Hello,
I have a requirement wherein I need to make an opportunity read-only if it is saved with the user status set to 'Lost'. I tried setting the 'Forbidden' flag for 'Change Document' for this status but the problem is that the transaction gets locked even before saving it.
I have a 'Reason' field where I have dropdown values for the 'Lost' status. But when I try to select a reason, error message appears as: 'no changes possible in document'.
Is it possible via configuration to have the transaction locked only after it is saved with user status 'Lost' and not immediately on setting the status?
Regards,
Aditya Mishra

2 ways to achieve it...
1. the document editing can be controlled based on its status i.e. standard auth objects exist to control so that user is not able to make changes with this status.
2. implement BADI CRM_ORDER_AUTH_CHECK
put your logic to check the document status and accordingly reutrn FALSE if you do not want user to open it in edit mode.
hope this helps.

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

Authorization for changing the user status

Hi all,
I need to give authorization in such a way that after the initiator has creataed a DIR...:
1. When it goes to the next approval, the person should be only able to change the user status and save.
he should not be allowed to change anything else.
I have tried using different authorization objects but none of them worked. Is there any tcode in DMS for just approving the DIR (changing it to next available user status), similar to release strategy. For ex ME29N for approval of PO (Purchase order) ?
Thanks
Anish

Hi Anish,
Based on your requirement, I would like to suggest to go by workflow to approve the document..
With the help of workflow, you can approve the document in workflow inbox itself (workitem), no need to go to DIR, the status will get automatically change in the DIR.
for this you have to use function mudule (set/get next status).
you can do this by taking the help of Workflow consultant and abap.

FM/BAPI for deleting Equipmet User status

Hi Guys
I am looking for a way to delete the equipment user status (the second box in IE02). I used a BDC for setting it and it works fine but I want to delete it now and I have no clue how.
I checked all the FM's related to STATUS and I found that internal status is the system status and the ext. status is the user status.
Anyone has experience in Equipment Sales?
Would appreciate your help.
Thanks
Sameer

Hello,
The rules, defining user statuses of an equipment, are defined by PM functional consultant (customizing SPRO).
As i know, it is not possible to delete equipment external status.
Using IE02, you can change equipment user status as defined by functional consultant.
In your other thread "How to delete equipment user status?", Pete Atkin has given a lot of interesting informations (for example, to change user status equipment use FM STATUS_CHANGE_EXTERN).

A simple network setup solution for a home user!

Hi, I currently have a Power book PC g4 it has x2 external drives connected to it via time capsule and I have an old G4 clunky desktop downstairs that is connected via Ethernet but some previous owner must've doctored it because it can't run safari or itunes. I want to upgrade to an Imac and use my old powerbook PC g4 basically as a screen and keyboard downstairs to access my main new computer which is upstairs. I'm sick of duplicate files because the two computers currently are run as completely separate but on the same network!! I also have an iphone and itunes which I want to be able to sync and use from either computer so in other words I want all the same programs etc on each computer two screens two keyboards but ideally only one hard drive which is backed up by time capsule. How do I do this easily? Remote Desktop? Currently I have terrible time syncing and numerous software issues because I am trying to run the same software on each computer and they don't like it. I ought to have two licenses to do that but it is too expensive for the home user! I know I'm a bit stupid regarding these matters but geekology doesn't come naturally I'm sorry.

I want to upgrade to an Imac and use my old powerbook PC g4 basically as a screen and keyboard downstairs to access my main new computer which is upstairs.
Screen sharing lets you sort of do this, but don't expect it to be just like sitting in front of the remote computer. The connection will slow everything down and you won't get sound. Plus I'd be surprised if the PB had nearly as large a screen as any new iMac. This is not a realistic solution for day-to-day use.
I'm sick of duplicate files because the two computers currently are run as completely separate but on the same network!!
Sounds to me like you need to replace the old hardware with a new laptop rather than an iMac. Then you can take it everywhere and not have any sync issues.
I am trying to run the same software on each computer and they don't like it. I ought to have two licenses to do that but it is too expensive for the home user!
That's another reason to get a laptop... you could quit breaking the law and just install on one machine. Note, though, that if your software is as badly outdated as your hardware, it may not all work on the current version of the Mac OS (10.6.4, aka Snow Leopard). Check that before buying anything.

BAPI/FM for setting the user status for the Project definition and WBS elem

Hi,
I have to set the User Status for the Project Definition and the WBS elements in that project.
The User status to be set is the same for the project and wbs elements.
Please let me know if there is any BAPI/FM to set the user status..
Thanks in advance.

May i know what are input parameters we need to pass it to "BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT".
Do you have any idea.
Please let me know

Problem in catching the User status of a WBS Element

Hi All,
      In CJ20n transaction we need to catch the User status for a particular WBS element when it gets changed to 'Technically Completed(TECO)' so that we can create an asset.
     At present we are using the method <b>'AT_SAVE'</b> of the BADI <b>'WORKBREAKDOWN_UPDATE'</b> in which we are unable to catch the user status since the user status is not getting updated in the JEST table at that time.
    We have tried calling a function module in Update task but in that also the JEST table is not getting updated.
Please provide us the solution.
Thanks and Regards,
    Siva

Hi Siva,
Try the following BADIs
WBS_FIELDS_FOR_ASSET
WBS_MULTIPLE_ECP
If these do not solve your purpose, then there is a work around..
1). Goto the transaction CJ20n -> goto the User Status Screen -> On the User Status check box press F1 -> Goto technical information. Get the Structure and field name of the Status.
2). This structure will be filled up with the current value during the program execution. You can get the value from this Structure.
Hope it helps...

User status linking between wbs and network

Dear All,
I got one requirement in which i am using user status at wbs level to block all the transactions.

If i am maintaining the user status at activity level than i am able to stop the same.
Kindly suggest cant we maintain user status at wbs level and stop fi posting at activity level. Is there any way to achieve this.

Dear Abhishek,
Use same sataus profile on Neworks also after having included Network activity & Network header as affected object types in OK02

OIM 10g: Best practice for updating OIM user status from target recon?

We have a requirement, where we need to trigger one or more updates to the OIM user record (including status) based on values pulled in from a target resource recon from an LDAP. For example, if an LDAP attribute "disable-flag=123456" then we want to disable the OIM user. Other LDAP attributes may trigger other OIM user attribute changes.
I think I need to write a custom adapter to handle "recon insert received" and "recon update received" events from the target recon, but wanted to check with the community to see if this was the right approach. Would post-insert/post-update event handlers be a better choice?

Thanks Nishith. That's along the lines of what I was thinking. The only issue in my case is that I might need to update additional custom attributes on the OIM User in addition to enable/disable. Because of that requirement, my thought was to call the API directly from my task adapter to do the attribute updates in addition to the enable/disable. Does this seem like a sound approach?

How to check a text type if it is filled or not for specific user status

Hello;
I want to check if a text type in a notification is filled or not for a specific user status. I guess that can be done using the BADI "ORDER_SAVE", but not sure how to do that.
Regards,
Erkan Kaya

Hello Erkan.
You can use the function module CRM_ORDER_READ_OW in method check_before_save of BADI ORDER_SAVE.
Fill the header_guid of the notification into the it_header_guid table parameter and get the returning table ET_TEXT.
For performance reason you should provide importing parameter it_requested_objects.
INCLUDE CRM_DIRECT.
APPEND gc_object_name-texts TO it_required_objects.
Then you can check in et_Text if the required text is maintained. If not, you can raise the exception DO_NOT_SAVE in the BADI.
Regards,
Timo.
