System Status
Definition
System statuses are set internally by the system within the framework of general status management when you perform certain business transactions. They inform you that a certain business transaction was performed on an object, which enables you to determine which business transactions you can now perform on the object as a result of this status.
Because system statuses cannot be directly changed by the user and are set automatically by the system when you perform certain business transactions, you can only display them.
Use
Example
A user creates a new piece of equipment in the system. He or she installs it immediately at a functional location and saves it. The system assigns the internal system status "
INST (Installed)
" to the new piece of equipment.
Business transactions that can be performed with this system status are, for example, "
dismantle object
" and "
install object
". Business transactions that cannot be performed are, for example, "
delivery to customer
" and "
set deletion flag
".
An order is assigned the status "
REL
". The system checks the material and production resource/tool availability and possible permit requirements. Goods receipt postings and time confirmations are possible, printing is possible and settlement is possible once this status has been set.
