Status Profile (SAP Library - Engineering Change Management (LO-ECH))

Status Profile

You can use a company-specific status profile to control the change process (change master record or change objects).

You define status profiles by choosing Define status profiles in Customizing for Engineering Change Management.

You allocate the status profile to an object type.
The following object types are relevant to Engineering Change Management:

master record
objects

You can define user statuses for your status profile.
You can allocate business transactions to each user status and define dependencies for it in the form of a status network.

In any processing situation, you can choose the desired status from the statuses that are currently allowed. You can display the latter with the possible entries function.

For more detailed information, see the IMG for Engineering Change Management, under Define status profiles.

You assign the status profile to a change type in Customizing for Engineering Change Management, step Define change types.

The following graphic illustrates how the status profile of a change type controls the processing of an ECR or ECO.
