Three-letter, case-sensitive code that is defined in a user status profile for orders, operations, notifications and tasks.

The user status code is set for each operation that is extracted and is used to define the current "owner" of a work/service order or notification. For example, when a work request is created, it could have the status 'NEW' to identify its ownership. When the work is transferred from the R/3 System to the Computer-aided Scheduling & Dispatch (CSD) system, the status could change to 'EXT'. When the work request is returned to the R/3 System after completion, its status could become 'SAP'. Another status such as 'CHG' could be used to identify when data is changed in the R/3 System and must be retransferred to the CSD/MF system.

The CSD/MF system may pass interim status updates to the R/3 System as work progresses. These statuses could identify that work has been started, suspended, or canceled.

Although user statuses are supported at task level in notifications, the ability to specify a user status at operation level of a work order is first supported from Release 4.5.
