Define Status Groups

In this IMG activity, you use status groups to define the status of incomplete sales and distribution documents. Then assign the status group to the fields in an incompletion procedure.

In the status group, you define which functions may be carried out for an incomplete sales and distribution document, or for the items where a field entry is missing. You use this function to block a document for delivery, billing, or pricing. In addition, you can check at header level whether the general data is complete.

Example

Fields that are defined for deliveries do not also have to apply to the billing document. If you allocate the relevant status group to these fields in the incompletion procedure, you can create a billing document for the incomplete sales order but not a delivery.

Activities

1. Check to what extent you can use the defaults for status groups that are defined in the standard system.
2. Change the existing status groups according to your requirements. Create new groups, if necessary.
3. Afterwards specify status groups for fields in the incompletion procedures (see section Define and assign incompletion procedures ).
