Status 
Includes different characteristics for the status of a business partner (for example, the archiving flag or a lock)
You can freely define and assign the user status.
To do this you define a status profile in Customizing and assign several user statuses to it.
The user statuses of the status profile assigned to the object type Business Partner are offered to you for selection in line with the settings you have made in Customizing.
For more information on the status profile, see the documentation of the Implementation Guide for the Business Partner under Basic Settings ® Status Management.
