User exit to set user status

Question

Hi,
We have a requirement to implement our own status management for SD orders. I have configured a new SD item object status profile in transaction BS02. Now I need to program the logic to update the item object status when the user is saving the sales order. I have looked at the relevant user exits in MV45AFZZ, but not found a way to update the item status upon saving. 
Has anyone faced a similar problem and know a good way to update the item object status upon sales order save?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Geir Kronkvist

Answer 1

I had accomplished this requirement as follows.
Step 1:-
There is an SAP function module STATUS_UPDATE. This FM should be invoked in update task.
Reason: SAP internally invokes this FM as an update task during the Sales order save process. Hence your updates should follow SAP's status update process.
Step 2:
Created a report program with 2 form routines to export and import JEST entries as follows.
form set_usrstat tables it_jest_upd structure jest_upd.
Export internal table into memory
export it_jest_upd to memory id 'it_jest_upd'.
Execute only after the next commit statement
perform zset_status on commit.
endform.
*&      Form  set_status
      Form for updating status after commit
form zset_status.
data: it_jest_ins like jest_upd occurs 0,
      it_jest_upd  like jest_upd occurs 0 with header line,
      it_jsto_ins  like jsto  occurs 0,
      it_jsto_upd  like jsto_upd occurs 0,
      it_obj_del like   onr00 occurs 0.
Import data from Memory
import it_jest_upd from memory id 'it_jest_upd'.
Run function module to update the status
CALL FUNCTION 'STATUS_UPDATE' in update task
  TABLES
    jest_ins       = it_jest_ins
    jest_upd       = it_jest_upd
    jsto_ins       = it_jsto_ins
    jsto_upd       = it_jsto_upd
    obj_del        = it_obj_del
endform.                    " zset_status
Step 3:
If you want to set a user status fill the i_jest_upd internal table accordingly and invoke the perform statement as follows.
Execute only after the commit
            PERFORM set_usrstat(zsd_status_update) TABLES  i_jest_upd.
