Processing Status 
The editing status indicates the stage that editing has reached and is determined when the document is saved. To save the active version of a document, a special authorization is required.
A documentation object or element can have the following editing statuses:
Object without documentation
As yet no documentation has been written for this object.
Object not to be documented
The object does not require any documentation for one of the following three reasons:
the object does not appear on a screen
the short text describes the object adequately
This refers only to the definition. Information applying to specific screens, such as the procedure, can be stored in data element supplements.
Object does not currently require documentation
The object is, for example, in a test phase or is being used temporarily.
Document in raw version
The document is being revised. Raw documents cannot be transported.
Document is active
Editing has been completed and the document has been saved as active version. Thereby, the version is finalized and released for transport and translation.
Note
Documents that have the editing status "final version", which was used in previous releases, can be included in a work list and edited. But you can save them only as raw version or as active version.
