Status Management
The current status of a marketing project (or the combination of all statuses) determines which business transactions can be executed for that marketing project. The current processing status of a marketing project is defined by the status management. Statuses can be set by the system or by a user.
Prerequisites
You can define user statuses if you want to control when particular business transactions are to be allowed. User statuses are additions to the existing system statuses.
You can define user statuses in Customizing for Customer Relationship Management
by choosing 
Marketing
Marketing Planning and Campaign Management
General Settings
Define Status Profile for User Status
.
Features
Each marketing project goes through various system statuses during its life cycle:
Created
Released
Finished
orRejected
Locked
Approved
A change to a system status is carried out by a business transaction and is triggered by setting a value in New Status
on the Details
page.
In addition to the statuses specified above, other system statuses can be set, for example, Locked
.
If the status of a campaign or trade promotion is set to Finished
or Rejected
, any associated activities that are still open should also be updated.
