Status Overview
In the status overview, the system displays the conversions sorted according to their status, and with the corresponding material.
Being created
After you have created a conversion, it appears underneath this node. When you create or change a conversion, you only need to maintain a descriptive text. Additional entries are briefly checked for plausibility (For example, Does the material exist in the system? Is the material assigned to the batch class?).

Batch Class Conversion must be fulfilled.You can carry out the following activities for conversions that have the status

):When you want to release the conversion, choose 
. After you have confirmed your actions in the confirmation prompt, the system performs consistency checks and an estimation of the resources required. If no errors occur, the conversion receives the status Released (R) and appears under the node Released.

Finished with errors
An error in a conversion occurs when the material or the class is currently being processed, i.e. it is blocked. The reason for the error is listed in the log on the detail screen. Because the conversion must be completed, you need to remove the cause of the error.
In the checks using , the system does not check for any blocks because these can change so quickly.
Finished without errors
For conversions with this status, all materials including batches have been successfully converted. For reasons to do with the creation of logs, these conversions cannot be deleted. Choose
