Changing the Quality Status of ProposalsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Context

To change the quality status of a proposal, you must create the proposal again and assign the required quality status.

You can change the quality status of application standards, system standards, and abbreviations. Exceptions do not have a quality status.

You may need to change the quality status of a proposal in the following situations:

  • You have checked proposals with a low quality status, and want to increase the quality status so that they can be automatically distributed.

    Example

    You decide that the system standard Save for the source text Sichern should be distributed in future. At this time, distribution is only active for proposals with quality status A . Save has quality status S . Change the quality status of Save from S to A .

  • You want to assign a lower quality status to a proposal to ensure that it is not automatically distributed.

For more information on quality statuses and the automatic distribution of proposals, see Quality Status and Automatic Distribution .

Procedure


  1. Access the proposal pool from the short text editor, or by using transaction SLPP. For more information on how to access the proposal pool, see Accessing the Proposal Pool .

  2. Ensure that the proposal whose quality status you want to change is highlighted at the top of the proposal pool next to the icon.

    • If you accessed the proposal pool from the short text editor, you see the text that you entered in the translation line.
