When you create a new document info record (DIR) in SAP Easy Document Management, the document statuses that you defined in Customizing for the document type are available to you.
When you create a document, the system takes into account the initial status (I), primary status (P), and whether the status was not previously defined. It also considers the implementation of the DOCUMENT_STATUS01 Business Add-In (BAdI).

Activities

You can change the status of multiple documents at the same time by selecting the documents in a folder and choosing Change Status from the context menu.

If you want to change the status of multiple documents of different document types, the system provides the intersection of the possible statuses for all selected documents for you to choose from in another menu.

When you select a status, choose ENTER.

The system changes the status of all the selected documents.
