Assigning User Status 

Prerequisites

You have defined at least one status profile in the Customizing settings and assigned several user statuses to that profile.

Procedure

You are in the dialog in the General Data on the tab page Status.

You have to assign a status profile to the business partner before you can define user statuses for that business partner. The procedure depends on whether you have already assigned a status profile to a business partner.

Assign a status profile and user status

...

       1.      If you have not yet assigned a status profile to the business partner, choose Assign Status Profile.

This brings you to the dialog box Status Profile Selection.

Assign a status profile to the business partner in order to be able to define a user status for the business partner.

You can assign only one status profile to a business partner. It is not possible to cancel this assignment at a later date.

       2.      When you have assigned a status profile, you reach a dialog box in which the defined user statuses are displayed for selection.

Select the required user status and copy it.

You have now assigned a status to a business partner.

User statuses to which no status number has been assigned in the Customizing can be set at any time and can be cancelled.

On the other hand, user statuses that have status numbers cannot be deleted, but can be replaced only by other user statuses of the same numbering scheme.

Assign or change user status

...

       1.      If you have already assigned a status profile to a business partner and want to change the user status, choose Insert Status.

This brings you to a dialog box in which the defined user statuses are displayed for selection.

       2.      Select the required user status and copy it.

You have now assigned a status to a business partner.
