User Status

To define user statuses for a status profile, proceed as follows:

1. On the screen "Change Status Profile: Overview", position the cursor on the status profile you want to maintain.
2. Select "Goto -> User status".
3. For each user status you have to enter a four-digit, language- specific key to identify the status.
4. For each user status you can enter the following:
a) In field "SNo", enter a status number
The status number determines the sequence in which the statuses contained in a status profile can be set.
b) Specify a lowest and highest status number in the columns "Low" and "High".
c) Enter a short text.
The short text contains a short description of the status.
d) Enter a long text for the user status.
Select "Goto -> Long text".
e) Mark a user status as an initial status, if necessary.
If you mark a user status as an initial status, it is set automatically when you create a cost object. Within a status profile, you can define only one initial status with a sequence number, but as many as you like without a seqeunce number.
f) With "Position", you specify the position in which the status is displayed in the order header.
g) With "Priority", you specify which priority the user status has on a particular position if the same position is defined for more than one active status.
5. Save your entries.
