Status Values, Keywords, and Documentation Types
You can save information in Customizing projects by status values, keywords, and documentation types.
Status values
Status values give information about the progress of a customizing project or project IMG activities. They are meaningful ten-character codes and short texts. The following standard status values are delivered:
The following status values are supplied as standard:
|

01 |

02 |
In process |
|
03 |
Done |
|
04 |
Not applicable |
Keywords
You can assign meaningful keywords, for which you can search in the project analysis, to each project. The project documentation allows you to document your SAP System implementation or upgrade Customizing projects.
Documentation Types
You can use the various documentation types as templates to structure your project documentation. You can also create your own documentation types for particular purposes, for example:
-
logs or decisions
-
project standards
-
conceptual design.
-
Problem or error messages
Every documentation type has a unique key. There are two types of project documentation:
-
project-specific documentation
This documentation type is only valid within the current customizing project and for all other projects which refer to it.
-
Cross-project documentation
This documentation type is global. It is available for all customizing projects.
You can create project documentation templates for each documentation type as described under Create Project Documentation Template.
Standard status, keyword and documentation type values for a project are all specified in the same way in the project management. If no values have yet been assigned to a project, the project administrator can use the project template, which contains project-independent status values, keywords and documentation types.
The values in the project template are available to all projects. The project administrator specifies which values can be used in the current project by assigning selected values from the project template to the project. The project team member can then assign each IMG activity in his or her project to the available status values, keywords and documentation types, in the project.
The graphic shows the relationship between the use of status values, keywords and documentation types in project management and project performance. The values available in the project management in the top left of the picture are the starting point for the use in the project performance at the bottom right.
