You are in the Structures Workbench (edit mode).

  1. Select the required force element in the structure area.

  2. Choose Start of the navigation path Structure Operations Next navigation step Change Status End of the navigation path .

  3. Specify:

    • If you want to change the status of the force element or the status of the proposed assignments

    • If you want to change only the status of the selected force element ( Individual Operation ) or also the subordinate force elements ( Structure Operation )

    • For which force element data area (properties or assignments) you want to change the status

      • Force Element

      • Authorized Personnel

      • Actual Personnel (staff assignment proposals)

      • Authorized Material

        Whether the authorized material is taken into account by force elements and/or positions depends on whether you selected Force Element and/or Authorized Personnel . You can change the status of authorized material for jobs only directly on the relevant tab page for jobs.

  4. Confirm your entries.

    When the status is changed, the system carries out a series of checks . If the relevant prerequisites are not fulfilled, the system displays error, warning, or information messages (check log). In this case, you have to make the necessary corrections or add the missing data. You cannot change the status until you have corrected all the errors (you can ignore warnings and information messages).

  5. Choose Continue.

    If warning or information messages are still displayed, confirm that you want to change the status.

    Depending on the settings, the system then starts a workflow or triggers a follow-up action .

    If you are using the organizational measure functions, change the status of force elements using their measure areas.

Changing the Status of Material Objects

You are in the Authorized Materials and Material Packages application (edit mode) and change the status of the relevant object on the Basic Data tab page.

Note Note

If the status changes to Obsolete , the system checks whether any assignments are still active on the key date (and displays a warning message if necessary).

When deleting, the system checks whether assignments still exist. You may have to delete the assignments in order to delete the object. The corresponding material master record (for a material planning object or equipment package) is automatically flagged for archiving.

You can define your own checks using the Business Add-In /ISDFPS/BD_PPE_STAT_CHG.
