Function documentationStatus Scheme for Label Sets Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

In the standard system, a simple status scheme is defined for label sets that supports you in the release process.

Prerequisites

If you want to use your own status scheme, you can create it, as well as the corresponding activities in Customizing activity Define Status Scheme, under   Logistics - General   Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)   PLM Web User Interface   Recipe Development   Status Management  .

You then assign this scheme in Customizing activity General Settings under   Logistics - General   Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)   PLM Web User Interface   Recipe Development   Labeling  .

Features

For the label set object, the following status attributes are available:

  • Label set can be marked for deletion

  • Label set is locked for changes

The assignment of these attributes to a status influences the kind of activities you can perform when a label set has that particular status.

The status scheme contains the following statuses:

  • In Process

    In this status, you can change label data and mark the label set for deletion.

  • For Release

    You use this status to initiate the release process; the person responsible can check the label and change the status.

    Caution Caution

    In the standard delivery, if the label set status is set to For Release, the following procedure is still possible in order to change data:

    1. Open the label set and change the status to In Process.

    2. Edit the label set.

    3. Set the status back to For Release.

    4. Save the label set.

    With this procedure, you have changed the label set in the status For Release, without causing the status change to be documented anywhere, for example in a change document.

    To prevent this procedure, you have the following options:

    • Assign the authorizations in a way that no user has authorization for both status changes, from For Release to In Process and back.

    • Implement the Business Add-In (BAdI) BAdI: Additional Checks Before Status Change in a way that the status change from In Process to For Release is only possible if the data has been changed beforehand.

    End of the caution.

  • Released

    You use this status to release the label set for further external processing. You cannot change released labels, you can only set them to status Obsolete.

  • Obsolete

    You use this status to lock a label temporarily, and switch from the status Released. You can mark a label with this status for deletion or change it.

The following table displays the standard attribute assignments to standard statuses.
