Document Status of the PLM Document 

The PLM document can be processed using its methods. See PLM document section "Methods". If processing is successful, the document status of the PLM document can change.

The document status shows the processing progress of the PLM document. There are four different document status categories and their use can be obligatory or optional.

You can make settings for the document status in the Customizing for Account Management (FS-AM) under Posting Lock Management ® Basic Settings ® Define Document Status. The number of document statuses per document status category is not restricted.
