User status profile - help needed

Hello,
We would like to use a status profile in which there are three possible states:
1: Open (Users can enter and change data)
2: Closed (When this status is set, no data can be changed)
3: Re-open (If a trasaction has the status closed, but for some reason something needs to be changed, setting this status allows it to change data)
The problem lies in the fact that in order to prevent data being changed in status "Closed", we set the entry in the last column to "FINI"and the Business Transaction "Change Document" to forbidden. This works since all the fields are no longer editable, including the status field.
Is there a way for us to make suure that all fields are not editable, at the same time allowing (certain) users to change the status to reopen so that changes can be made?
Help will be much appreciated.
Regards,
Alex van Vondelen

Sorry, can't have the cake and eat it too.
Only way is to do it through another custom program. For example, see if the process of Reopening requires any workflow type of authorizatrion. Then you can sneak that in the approval process. We had a very similar process of not allowing a class of users to change the document (and status) and there was a workflow involved in the process.
Easiest way is to write a small dialog program, get the transaction number and check the authorization of the user, to start the process. You may have to directly modify the status tables - remove (delete) the "Closed" status after authorization check.

  • In Service Orders - Adding addition status in User Status Profile

    Hi Guyds,
    I have a question.
    Customer have a requirement where, in repair process when they receive the defective device (equipment) thru return delivery they want to put the device in contamination. And once the contamination is done they want to stage the device for repair. They are asking how can this requirement be met or mapped in SAP system? I suggested we can define additional user statuses in user status profile. Like when the device is received the user can manually set the user status as "Put to decontamination" status in service order. And once the decontamination is complete, then user can manually set another user status as "Decontamination complete" (just as an example). Customer has agreed with this suggestion.
    Now, my question is I can meet this requirement by adding addtional statuses to the user profile and then assigning the user profile to service order right? And as customer has agreed that user will have to manually set these statuses in service order, so customizing/configuring the status profile should suffice right? Or do I have to perform any enhancement? Please advice but remember that the customer has agreed to setting the user status manually, automation is not required. So, in this case do I still have to go for any enhancement to meet this requirement or can I do it just by defining extra statuses in user status profile.
    Please guide me. Appreciate your help.
    If you have any questions or need any clarifications, please let me know.
    Best regards,
    Abdul Rafey

    Hi
    As you correctly pointed out user status will be straight answer. there is no enhancement required. you have to create the user status and assign the same for the order type .
    also you can automate to some extent ex while order created you can make the "Put to decontamination" as initial and while releasing the order you can automate that "device for repair" will be set on releasing

  • Different user status profile for network header and activities

    Hi everyone!
    Is there any way to define different user status profile at network header level and at network activity level? As far as I know, it is only possible to enter a user profile at network type level, and both netwok headers and activities use the same statuses. Does it work this way?
    Thanks!
    Regards.

    Hi Punith, Hi abdul!
    Thanks for the reply!
    I've gone through the OPSC, but the thing is that here you define a user status profile at network plant level. But I need to define it at network activity level.
    The reason why I need this is because we have types of activities. We use network activities for client activities, for internal activities, to identify and follow-up risk management, etc. Each group of activities -since they have different usages- has different user status associated. But as I don't have any way to assign different user status profiles, all the activities have the same statuses, although  they will only use some of them.
    Thanks!

  • BAPI_BUS2173_SET_STATUS should be able to set user status profile.

    Hi,
    I need use a workflow to setup user status profile for PHASE and TASK, but I found that the unique easy way to setup the user status profile for PHASE or TASK is manual operation.  I have created a user status profile of the BUS2173 and BUS2175. I can't use BAPI_BUS2173_SET_STATUS function to setup user status profile, but it can be used to setup a user status after the user status profiel has been setup by manuay.
    Why?
    Best regards,
    Arrow Yang.

    Hi,
    Try calling BAPI_BUS2173_SET_STATUS first time for setting the status profile by passing the status profile in iv_status_profile parameter and the phase guid but not passing the user status to the bapi.
    Now after this again call the same bapi, this time just passing the user status and phase guid and not passing anything in the status profile.
    We have used this bapi to set the status profile.

  • User status Profiles - Add new status

    Hi Experts,
    We're working in cProjects 4.0, and we want to customize the status profile for some objects in the project, trying to add a new status "in evaluation" between standard status "release" and "completed".
    It is very important that you <b>cannot change to this status unless the item is released</b>. And we want to define that you can come back to the status only from defined statuses.
    We tried to define that under customizing point "Create/Change User Status Profile" but we don't get to have the discrimination criteria just mentioned above.
    Any help/hints on this?
    Thanks in advance!!
    Kind Regards,
    Isabel

    Isabel,
       You should be able to accomplish this by setting them as below. You could set up the influence like the below  
    Created /initial - System status REL Disallowed
    Released/Initial - System status Completed Disallowed
    Released /inEvaluation - System status Completed Disallowed
    Completed /InEvaluation - System status Completed allowed or No restriction
      and set the Next action to No action.
       By setting them as above When you are in create system status, you can only have the created/Initial User status active. In order to release the object the user will have to propogate to the Released /initial user status .
      After the system status Release has been set, depending on the completion of your activity you can set the released/inevaluation user status.Only after you set this status can set the system status to complete.
      Hope this helps.
    Thanks

    Hope to find the reply soon. Thanks in advance.
    Chin2

    Hi Naveen,
    Thanks for such a valuable reply, this document is very much helpful to me. See the below example i am showing for the status profile i have created
    STATUS PROFILE:  ZP-NOTIF
    Status number        Status     description                                          Init      Lowest       Highest      position     priority
             1                    OPEN       Open Notification                                no        1                   1                 1               1
             2                    RUNG      Equip. Running Condition                    no         1                   2                1               1                
             3                    NRUN      Non-Running Condition                       no         1                   2                1               1                
             4                    CLSD      Closed                                                 no         1                   2                1               1                
    When I am trying to set the first status (OPEN) to the notification, it works fine but even after I am assigning the order to this notification, put notification in process, assign equipment I cannot set the next status (i.e., RUNG) it is showing me the following error:
    "Status RUNG is not allowed (QNF 100000000000) "  -> -> 
    Diagnosis
    The user status 'RUNG' has reference number 02.  In the current object status 'QNF 100000000000', the reference number of a status may not be higher than 01.
    Procedure
    You can only set user status whose reference number is not higher than 01.
    please help me solving this question its a bit urgent.
    Thanks once again for your replies.

  • User status profile settings on WBS not working

    Hello,
    We have a User status profile on WBS element which has various statuses in it allowing different business transactions when that particular user status is set.
    There is one user status NPC in that status profile which should disallow assignment or confirmation on maintenance work order. Now the status previous to NPC status allows assignment or confirmation of orders. So after a order is assigned to the WBS and the WBS user status is changed to NPC when we try to confirm order on this WBS in NPC status sytem allows order confirmation.
    Why is system allowing this inspite of the status profile config says confirmation is disallowed in NPC status. I have checked the object types in the status profile config and maintenance order is also included in that but still its not working. Please help in solving this issue, its critical.

    The business transactions disallowed under NPC status are as below,
    Acct. Assignment order/Project
    Actual activity Allocation
    Assignment Order/WBS
    Confirm Order
    Goods Movement
    Material Purchase Order
    Material Purchase Requisition
    Post Goods Issue
    But orders can be assigned in the status before NPC, but once NPC is set system does not allow assignment of new orders which is correct. But system allows confirmation of already assigned orders. Please help we do not want any order confimation after NPC is set.

    Thanks for the reply.
    My actual requirement is as follows:

    I want a seperate PR for each one.
    But I want that based on an influencing factor, I should be able to control, the timing when PR is generated for each component line item.
    i.e. PR should not be generated together for all line items, but at different times for diff line items.
    Please give some input.

  • Bapi for Project User Status Profile

    Hi,
    Is there any bapi that contains the field "Status Profile (STSMA) of the Project? I only can find the WBS status...
    Thanks in advance.
    LM

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    But this function is to get the status... The problem is when creating a project by BAPI, the "user status profile" field (STSMA) is not available to fill. In this case, it happens if we have 2 schemes for projects, the bapi only puts the first that appears and I want the 2nd one to be fullfilled.
    How can we create a projet by bapi and have this field?

  • Deleting user status profile in equipment master

    Hello experts,
    can anyone tell if it's possible to delete a user status profile. Once we used an user status profile in an equipment i cannot find i way to delete or change the profile to another profile.

    Hi,
    You can only change the user status profile in the equipment provided no status value has been set. Once a status value is set (maybe as intital status) the field is closed for input and no change can be made to the profile.

  • User status profiles

    While for both project and WBS the user status profile is assigned in the project profile, the network activity status profile is assigned in the network type.
    But where to default the network status profile?  Or in the network type it should be for both: network and activity?
    Thank you.

    Yes,  you can default same user status profile for both network profile and activity.
    if maintain XYZ user staus profile for network type ps01( example) and maintaining same network type in network profile ABC.
    then you are having same user staus profile in both netwok as weel as activity.

  • User status profile assigned to document type in specific sales org.

    Hi,
    can anyone tell me, if it is possible to assign a user status profile to the combination sales document type and sales organization?
    Maybe with some kind of enhancement and/or user-exit?
    Best Regards,
    Florian

    Hi,
    You may use the following user exit to determine the relevant status profile with specific sales organization (VKORG) (There is no standard way is available to do so)
    User-Exits in Program RV45PFZA
    USEREXIT_SET_STATUS_VBUK
    In this user exit you can you can store a specification for the reserve fields in VBUK (header status). Reserve field UVK01 could, for example, be used for an additional order status (as for rejections status, etc.).
    The following workareas are available for this user exit:
    VBUK (header status)
    FXVBUP (item status)
    FXVBUV (Incompletion)
    USEREXIT_SET_STATUS_VBUP
    In this user exit you can you can store a specification for the reserve fields for VBUP (item status).
    The following workareas are available for this user exit:
    FXVBAP (Item data)
    FXVBAPF (Dynamic part of order item flow)
    FXVBUV (Incompletion)
    USEREXIT_STATUS_VBUK_INVOICE
    You can use this user exit to influence billing status at header level.

  • User status profiles for work orders and sub-orders

    Hi Experts,
    I have the following question regarding status profiles for SAP PM work orders (but I guess it relates to all user status profiles).
    Customizing
    A status profile is defined for order type "PM_A", which contains an authorization key "OP" for certain user states (to be set by the ordering party)
    Situation
    The ordering party A creates an order of type PM_A for contractor B, and B then creates a sub-order of type PM_A for contractor C
    Problem
    - If I assign the authorization key "OP" only to roles of party A, then party B can't set the user states reserved for the ordering party (correct for the order A->B, but not for the sub-order B->C)
    - If I assign the authorization key "OP" to roles of party A and party B, then B could set certain user states reserved for the ordering party in the order A->B, which is also wrong
    Question
    Is there a way to restrict sub-orders differently than "non-sub-orders", or do I have to create a "sub-order order-type" for each order type, in order to assign them different status profiles and authorization keys?
    Thanks a lot!

    hi
    since you have 3 roles to be assigned to the same order type with different authorization ,it is better you create an seperate order type for sub order and assign the user status with authorization for B and C
