Maintaining System and User Statuses 
Use
You have the following options for maintaining status entries (system and/or user status) for your master data objects:
You maintain a status for a particular commitment item/funds center/fund combination.
Example
Funds center Y/commitment item 1/fund A receive system status Released
Funds center Y/commitment item 2/fund B receive user status G/L account posting not permitted .
Funds center Y/commitment item 3/fund C receive system status Closed .
You allocate a single status for all your master data.
Example
Funds center */commitment item */fund * receive system status Released .
A mixture of 1 and 2.
Example
Funds center */commitment item 1/fund * receive user status G/L account posting permitted.
( )
The system automatically generates a status entry for <Funds center */commitment item */fund *> when you specifically maintain any status.
( )
If you have a large number of master data objects, you should use the facility for setting just one status for all objects. Only in exceptional circumstances should you specify status entries for individual funds center/commitment item/fund combinations.
You can only maintain statuses for commitment items in which you have defined transaction "30" (=Post revenue, expenditure, asset, stock, and so on).
Deleting Status Entries:
You can delete all existing status entries for an FM area/fiscal year.
See Maintain Existing Status Entries for more information.
