Status Management
Use
This function informs you about the status of the maintenance plans and their meaning.
Features
The system statuses for the maintenance plan are set internally by the system within the general SAP R/3 Status Management. For example, the system sets the status Created if you create a maintenance plan, or it sets the status Deletion flag if you flag a maintenance plan for archiving.
Status "Created"
The maintenance plan is created.
Changes to the maintenance plan, the assignment of a maintenance item and maintenance task list as well as the scheduling of the maintenance plan are possible.
None.
Status "Deletion flag"
None.
You mark a maintenance plan for archiving with the status Deletion flag. The system does not generate any further maintenance calls for this maintenance plan. The maintenance plan can no longer be scheduled.
You can reset the status as required.
Status "Deleted"
Variant Settings for the Initial Archiving Run (PM-PRM-MP).The status Deleted is set by the initial run program for archiving.
You can no longer reset the status.
Status "Inactive"
The status Deletion flag cannot be set for the maintenance plan.
If you set the status Inactive for a maintenance plan, it can no longer be scheduled. This means that the system does not generate any maintenance calls or maintenance call objects for this maintenance plan.
From Relase 4.0A, the status Inactive replaces the field Lock for calls which you could set in the maintenance plan using Goto ® Maintenance plan additional data. The system automatically converts the previous indicator to the status Inactive.
You can reactivate the maintenance plan if necessary.
