This function deals with general status management and its use for technical objects in Plant Maintenance (technical objects, orders, notifications).

You can use status management to describe and recognize whether particular business transactions can be performed for an object.

There are two types of status:

None

To use this type of status you must:

1. Create a status profile for the objects concerned
2. Define the user statuses within this status profile
3. Assign the status profile

You maintain the status profile in Customizing for Plant Maintenance.

Generally, all functional locations have the system status CRTE (Created). In addition, the system statuses INAK (object deactivated) and DLFL (deletion flag activated) are possible.

Several system statuses are available for equipment, notifications and orders.

You can display for each object the various business transactions that can be performed for it.

The functional scope of the user status depends on your settings in Customizing.
