Assigning User Status
Prerequisites
You have defined at least one status profile in the Customizing, to which several user statuses have been assigned.
Procedure
You are in the general data of the SAP Business Partner on the tab page Status.
Before you can define user statuses for a business partner, you must assign a status profile to the business partner. The procedure depends on whether you have already assigned a status profile to a business partner.
Assign a status profile and user status
You reach the dialog box Status profile selection.
Assign a status profile to the business partner in order to be able to define a required user status for the business partner.
You can assign only one status profile to a business partner. It is not possible to cancel this assignment at a later date.
Select the required user status and transfer it.
You have assigned a status to a business partner.
User statuses to which no status number has been assigned in the Customizing can be set at any time and can also be cancelled.
On the other hand, user statuses that have status numbers cannot be deleted, but can be replaced only by other user statuses of the same numbering scheme.
For more information on the status profile, see the documentation of the Implementation Guide for the SAP Business Partner under Basic Settings ® Status Profile.
Assign or change user status
You reach a dialog box in which the defined user statuses are displayed for selection.
You have assigned a status to a business partner.
