A status profile is created in customizing per order type.

Within a status profile you can

Status Numbers

For every user status you can define a status number. With the help of the status number you determine the sequence in which the user statuses are activated.

If you do not assign a status number to a user status, the user status can always be activated. However, only one user status with a status number can be active at any given time.

If you assign a status number to a user status, you must also specify a lowest and a highest status number for the user status. These limit the status number interval from which the next user status can be selected.

Example

You have defined the following user statuses with the following status numbers in a status profile:

Example of User Statuses with Status Numbers

Status no.

Status

Lowest no.

Highest no.

Planning locked

Preparation

2

2

Execution

1

3

3

Check

2

4

4

Completion

4

4

In this example, ths status "planning locked" can always be activated since it has no status number.

Status "preparation" must be activated first. When status "preparation" is active, it is possible to activate status "execution".

If status "execution" is active, you can activate either status "preparation" or status "check".

Note

The lowest and highest number of the highest activated status number is always valid. In the above example it would therefore not be possible to first activate status "execution" from status "check" and to then activate status "preparation" from status "execution".

If status "check" is activated, you can activate either status "execution" or status "completion". Once status "completion" is activated, a return to preceding statuses is no longer possible.
