Additional Functions of Status Maintenance

Status simulation

You can use this function to simulate the status development for a particular object.
To do this, select a status profile and branch to the screen "Allowed Object Types". Then place the cursor on one of the object types.

• Using the function Extras -> Status simulation, you can simulate the status changes that could be caused by performing various business transactions, or by changing the staus manually, during the lifetime of the object concerned.

• You can also branch directly from simulation to status maintenance for the object concerned, to display information on which transactions are allowed or disallowed in the current situation.

• The log function records all the changes you simulate and allows you to navigate freely to see what effects these are having.
