During the life of the appropriation request, its condition can change over time as viewed from an organizational, an accounting or a technical perspective. You can document these changes using system status settings.

Appropriation requests have an interface with R/3 status management. This status management can be used to manage both system statuses and user statuses. The possible system statuses are pre-defined in the system. You define allowed entries for the user status in Customizing.

The appropriation request and the variants of an appropriation request each have their own system status and user status.
