The business functions that you can use in the SAP System are called business transactions.
In status management, there are two ways of controlling which business transactions are allowed or disallowed for an order:
This enables you to lock the order individually for business transaction groups.
You can thus use a business transaction if the order status allows it, or if it does not belong to the group of disallowed transactions.
When you make a posting for a G/L account, the system internally sets the RFBU business transaction (FI postings).
When you plan primary costs in cost centers or orders, the system sets the RKP1 business transaction (Cost planning).
To be able to implement this transaction control, you need to define business transaction groups.
The SAP System contains the following business transaction groups which have defined business transactions:
Business transaction groups must be unique within a particular client. This means a business transaction group must have the same meaning in all controlling areas.
You can split a system status up into more than one status, and then assign the business transactions to each individual status.
Example
You wish to limit business transactions to a certain time. External invoices are only to be posted before order settlement. You can do this by applying the Released system status and assigning the business transaction to exactly where it is to be allowed.
