Specification Status in Header Specification Workbench Header

Hi,
In search screen of Specification Workbench (CG02) under Validity, what is the purpose/benefit of "Status"? There are four statuses: IP (In Process), FR (For Release), NC (Noncritical Change), and RE (Released).
If no status is assigned when a new specification is created, what status is it assigned to by default?
Can these statuses be used to drive workflow? i.e one person creating specification, at some point is it reviewed/finalized then set to Released status?
Thank you for helping answering this question.
Javed.

Hello Javed
Status on the level of the specification:
this is a "new" feature introduced in EH&S 2.7. Using this feature you can generate workflows etc. In principle this status can help you (as a company) in the data maintenance process. This is done per "usage" (and other objects). The "Status" is integrated into the report generation process as well if you have done a proper set up of the generation variants in use.
Like many of the EH&S "Status" there is a default "net" which can be enhanced by customer. Furthermore in doing so you need a good set up in the area of access rights later so that the process of maintenance is not disturbed.
You will find some help in the documentation of SAP:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/en/a7/286c740a6c11d28a220000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
Topic "Specification Status" which is part of chapter Specification Management (EHS-BD-SPE).
Here you will find additionally some help regarding the delivered status and the process
- Change Not Permitted
- Generation Not Permitted
- Editing Specification Statuses
The SAP documentation is useful as a starter. We have done some investigations in using the "status" in the past. But it is quite complex so we are not using this feature.
With best regards

No Logs in specific status

Hi all,
in a specific status of my support message there are no logs (error messages, warnings etc.) visible. If i change the status i can see them.
It is NOT an authentication problem.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards Daniel

Okay the requirement is to check a text field to be filled in a specific status with a specific priority. The only way i managed to do that is by allowing a status change only via defined actions. I implemented the badi SOCM_CHECK_CONDITION and did my checks there.
It worked perfectly, except for the fact that the system won't change the user status until the ibase component field is filled. I thought it could be a problem with the condition so i did a fresh copy of the slfn and added just the action for status change. But the problem is still there.
There is no error message and it also says that the specific action has been performed succesfully. But the status will only change if i fill the ibase component field.
I assume that the "hf_check_status" method has been coded for the change request management where you always need an ibase component in you change requests or change documents.
I can do a workaround by filling the ibsae by default and hide it, but it would be nice to know what the problem actually is

Bypass D-Chain specific status of material master

Hi,
Is there a way ( Copy Routine/ user exit) to bypass D-Chain specific status of material master which prevents creation of Delivery doc w.r.t a PO in STO scenario?
I dont want change the config setting for status to allow delivery creation.
Thanks in Advance
Subhankar

Hi Kapil,
Threre are some material for which D-Chain status ( MVKE-VMSTA) in the materila master are set in such a way so that deliveries can not be created. We need to bypass this restriction for couple of delivery types. One of them is the delivery type used for intracompany STO.
I am looking for some way out like user exit so that I dont need to change existing config change for those statuses.

PA - IT0000 'Customer Specific' Status

Hi All,
IT0000 has a field 'Customer Specific' Status. This field is by default Grayed Out. We can default values in this while creating and Action.
My requirement is that I want to make this field as input field. I want to change the values during creation of Action Infotype. I could not make it using table T588M
Anybody have idea how to make it input field?
With Regards

HI Sikandar,
I just want to make field 'Customer Specific Stauts' as input field. Using T588M we can change the field characteristics for the screen which we get during all the PA action.
By using the same table i could not make this field as input field.
What more elaboration you need?

Status of transfer (shipment costs header data)

Kindly explain it to me in general language,
Status of transfer (shipment costs header data)
This status describes the stage of forwarding for a shipment cost document.
Use
The status is determined by the system and cannot be changed manually. To determine the status, the system cumulates the item statuses. The following rules apply:
Item | Status
000001 | _ | A | B | C | B | C | C | C
000002 | _ | _ | _ | _ | A | A | B | C
Header | _ | A | B | C | B | B | B | C
You can select shipment costs that have reached a certain forwarding status.

Dear Pradeep,
the matrix describes how the header status gets calculated when the cost document has two items.
The header status is a cumulation of the item status. This is valid for the calculation, accounting and
transfer status!
Example:
If item 00001 has status 'C' and item 00002 'A', the header status will be 'B'.
Item | Status
000001 | _ | A | B | C | B | C | C | C
000002 | _ | _ | _ | _ | A | A | B | C
Header | _ | A | B | C | B | B | B | C

Tom

Report - Status of a specific advertisement showing 900 resources when only deployed to 100

we have a strange problem where we run the "Status of a specific advertisment" is showing some bogus data.
We deployed to a collection containing 100 PCs and the report for that collection ID shows:
Accepted = 300
Rejected = 5
No Status = 600
I found another report to get us more accuate information via CCMexec.com.
My question revolves around the default report is showing wrong information? This isnt this first time its happened. I am guessing its an issue with our database?
Anyone have any suggestions?

What Report did you find on ccmexec? Without this info it is impossible answer your question.
If you look at the query on ccmexec and within the report, what is different between them?
My guess based on the fact that you need to enter in Collection id, that is the major difference between the two of them queries.

Status Tab in Purchase order header

Hi All,
The status tab in the PO header is not getting updated properly. This issue is not coming for all the PO's & not a repetitive issue.
In some of the PO's the invoice quantity & value is shown less, but the PO has been completely invoiced.
All the PO's are account assigned PO's
I am not able to find the reason for such behaviour.Please let me know if any of you have a solution.
Thanks & Regards
Kishore Kumar

Hi
I have already specified the PO's have been completely invoiced.

Material specific status in material master

Hi,
We have a material A. in the material master for A, in the basic data ,the "X plant mat status is Z4 which means material discontinued. In the sales org tab for the same material, the "dis chain specific status" is Z1 which also means material under discontinuation.
But the issue is we are able to create and save sales order for material A.
i would like to know what is the issue. the system should not allow to create sales order. Also where are these material specific status configured and where is the control to block the sales order based on these material status.
regds

the creation of sales order is not controlled with a material status, it is only controlled with customizing of sales status.
The sales status can be defined in IMG > Logistics general > material master > setting for central fields > sales relevant data > define sales status.

Where to maintain Turksih translation for customer specific status?

HI gurus,
How was your New Year?
I am kindaa of stuck at maintaining translations from English to Turkish. To maintain translation e.g. For Ee grp I go to Table T501 > on the menu GOTO > Translate > select the language > enter Turkish words. but for the following the translate option is coming dim for me. I don't know if there any other place to maintain it. I am having trouble with the following:
- customer specific status Table: VV_T529U_1__AL0 or Prnl mgmt. > Pernl. admn. > Custm proc. > Create cust. Spec. status
- Marital status V_T502T or Prnl. Mgmt. > Prnl. admn. > Personal data > Personal Data > Create Marital Status
- Pay scale type V_t510A or Prsnl mgmt. > Prsnl admn> Payroll data > Basic Pay > Check Pay Scale Type
Thanks a ton,
JEss..

Hi
I was able to do the translation for customer specific status and MArital status. For this, when logging in change the language to Thai > Use Tcode SU3 > on the second tab change the language to Thai. from here, everything comes in Thai. you can easily maintain it from there using your table or through SPRO.
Thanks,
JEss..

PLant specific status

Hi all,
How can we configure new plant specific statuses in the system.
How can the plant specific ststuses can be made mandatory to be filled during material master creation.
Is it possible to automatically populate a status(For eg ZM) at th time of creating a material.
PLease help me.
Karthick P

Hi
You can define the Plant specific status in OMS4 as suggested by Mr Vivek and also the settings are global but if you assign the same plant specific material status key in BD1 then for that material it will active on client level and if you assign in MRP1 view then it will active for specific plant only.Also you can do mandatory from T code OMS9> Field sele group 51 and maintain MARC-MMSTA as required entry for your material type wise.
Correct me if am wrong.
