Assignment Status

An assignment can be allocated the following statuses, which are especially relevant for cProjects:

Status

Description

Proposed

The assignment has been created by the resource planner, but the requester has not yet confirmed or rejected it.

Accepted

The requester has accepted the assignment planned for the resource.

Rejected

The requester has rejected the assignment planned for the resource. The assignment has been deleted but can still be seen in the SAP Multiresource Scheduling view of the project as a rejected assignment.

Reserved

The requester can indicate a resource assignment as reserved. Provided that the assignment is reserved, it cannot be hardbooked by the resource planner. The resource planner can enter a hardbooking only once the requester has accepted the assignment (this does not apply to the “Automatic Posting” variant).

Allocated

This status is set manually by the resource planner or automatically by the system if the “Automatic Posting” variant is used.

The terms “softbooking” and “hardbooking” which are used frequently in the project environment, as defined as follows:

  • Softbooking: Proposed, Accepted, Reserved

  • Hardbooking: Allocated

Demand Status

A demand can be allocated the following statuses, which are especially relevant for cProjects:

  • Offer: A role in the contact person process is assigned the offer status until the requester removes it manually.

You can define additional user statuses for the demand in Customizing and use them in the project. The Status field on the MRS tab page of the project role is intended for this.
