Checking Status Entries (SAP Library - Funds Management (FI-FM))

Checking Status Entries
Use

By checking status entries, the system determines which commercial transactions are permitted for an object and which are forbidden. You cannot carry out a transaction which is forbidden.

Activities

If you carry out a commercial transaction, such as funds reservation, which address a budget structure element, the system first checks whether:

There is a status entry for the object
The business transaction is permitted for the object

If there is no status entry for this object, the system uses the closest fitting entry for checking purposes.

You want to enter funds reservations for the combination <Funds center 1/commitment item 2/fund 3>. There is no status entry for this particular combination. This being the case, the system searches for other suitable combinations, for which there are status entries.

The system finds entries for the following combinations:

<Funds center */commitment item */fund *>
<Funds center */commitment item 2 /fund *>
<Funds center 1 /commitment item 2 / fund *>

In this case, the system uses status entry 3 for the check.

As soon as you maintain the first entry in status management and save it, the system automatically generates status entry <Funds center * / commitment item * / fund *>. The system status applies to all BS elements.
