Changing the Status of Objects

Procedure

You can change the status of organizational units, jobs, positions and work centers if the planning status of the object has changed in the organizational plan. Status changes occur for several reasons. For example, a planned object may be approved, and require activation. To change the status of a task, see Changing the Status of Tasks.

When you change the status of an object, the system applies the new status retroactively, to the beginning of the object's validity period.
