Hello Mansur;
Just to ray some hints for you related with Status Profile:
A status can allow, prohibit or issue a warning for any subsequent process. A status profile is then assigned to the document type for the header or the item category for the item.
Example: User status for the order
IMG -> S&D -> Sales->Sales document -> define and assign status profile
1.Define status profiles
2.Assign order types / status profiles-----same for VOV8
3.Allocate status profile to item categories------Same for VOV7
To define and change status profiles for any of the documents you can use transaction BS02. The status profile needs to contain following information:
1. Object type: sales order header, sales order item etc.
2. Business transaction: create, change etc.,
3. Influence: The transaction has:
        a.  no influence
        b.  permitted
        c.  warning
        d.  disallowed
4. Call up BS02 again->choose one user status->double click->New entry-> Set the Influence for business transactions->Save->Display again->
5. Allocate the profile to the order type u2018ORu2019 (VOV8)
A status object will be created for an item in any of the following cases:
1.The item has been customized to get an own CO object (VBAP-KZVBR = 'E')
2.Calculated costs determination is active (T459K-KALKU <> SPACE) for the requirement class of the item
3.A user status profile has been assigned to the item (TVAP-STSMA <> SPACE)
4.Export control is active for the sales document type (TVAK-EXCOK <> SPACE)
5.The item is a repair item
In all other cases, no status object will be created. You can trace through the FV45PF0S_STATUS_OBJEKT_ANLEGEN to understand why a status object is created or not created in your case.
So, that´s it.
I hope it can be helpful
