Documentation
Definition
A grouping of different kinds of status. A group can consist of any combination of general, delivery, billing, and pricing status.
Use
Using status groups, you can determine which status messages appear when you process different documents. The status group also provides the link, during sales order processing, between the incompletion log (where the system prompts you to enter data in required fields) and the header and item status screens in the sales document.
The fields that appear in the incompletion log are defined for each sales document by an incompletion procedure, where you assign a status group to each field. Then, during sales order processing, if you omit to fill a required field, the system
- prompts you for the relevant information in the incompletion log
- records the status messages in the sales document, according the assigned status group
Example
For the processing of credit and debit memo requests, for example, you can apply a status group that does not include a delivery status (which would not be relevant).
Note
The system always checks the status of a document that you use as the basis for a subsequent document. Documents that are used as reference documents can only be copied when the status shows that the necessary information is complete.
