Use

In this IMG activity you can create a status profile. A status profile contains multiple status values that can be assigned to a case. Status is an attribute that the user can set for each case.

Activities

The meanings of the columns of the status profile are as follows:

  • Status profile: Technical name of the status profile. You assign the status profile to a case type in the activity Define Case Types.
  • Status profile description: Description of the status profile.
  • You fill the columns "Status OT" (object type) and "Status Schema" only if you want to connect the central status management. In this case, you do not need to maintain status values for your status profile.
  • If you want to connect the central status management, you have to implement additional BAdIs:
    • Provided that the central status management has been set up, one BAdI (SCMG_SET_STATUS_S) has to be implemented for the initial status and one BAdI (SCMG_INIT_STATUS_S) for the status change. You can then use the central status management in Case Management. (You implement BAdIs by using transaction SE19, and view BAdI definitions in transaction SE18).
      You change the status by means of pushbuttons. On the front end, there is a BAdI available for including additional pushbuttons. The function code contains the business transaction according to the central status management. You change the status by using the function module of the central status management CRM_STATUS_CHANGE_FOR_ACTIVITY.

For each status profile you can define multiple status values. A case can have one current status only. (Multiple statuses cannot be active simultaneously.) The meanings of the columns of the status values are as follows:

  • Status: Number of the status, which you choose. The status with the lowest number is the initial status.
  • Status description: Description of the status, which you choose.
  • System status: SAP delivers system status values. You can use the input help to see which values are available. By entering a system status, you assign a particular system response to the status that you created. Some examples of system status values and their system response are as follows:
    • 003 (External Processing): The case is no longer ready for input. The user can change the status only by means of a pushbutton. Responsibility for the pushbuttons lies with the applications (Public Sector, FIN, CRM, and so on).
    • 007 (Completed): The case is no longer ready for input. The user can, however, convert the status. The status can be changed by means of a pushbutton only. Responsibility for the pushbuttons lies with the applications (Public Sector, FIN, CRM, and so on).
    • 008 (Confirmed): The case is no longer ready for input. The status can no longer be changed.
    • 009 (Canceled): The case is no longer ready for input. The status can no longer be changed.
  • System Status Description: Filled by the system automatically.
  • Low Status: Lowest previous status. The user can set the status only if the previous status is higher than or equal to the status that is entered here.
  • High Status: Highest previous status. The user can set the status only if the previous status is lower than or equal to the status that is entered here.
  • Auto: The user cannot convert the status manually (filled by the system automatically depending on the system status).
  • Event: Only relevant if you use the process route. The event is triggered when the status is set. The following events are available:
    • COMPLETED: The process route is completed.
    • CREATED
    • INPROGRESS: The process route is triggered.

Example

Status Schema:

Status     Description     System Status    Lowest Status    Highest Status

10    In Preparation    New/Open    0    10

20    New    New/Open    0    20

30    In Processing    In Process    0    40

35    In Legal Department    For Release    20    37

37    Cleared by Legal Department    Released    35    37

40    Processing Completed    Completed     30    40

50     Completed    Confirmed    40    40

Interpretation of the Status Schema:

The status controls the status transfers. A status can be set if the status of the current status is higher than or equal to the lowest status number and lower than or equal to the highest status number.

Example 1: The status "Cleared by Legal Department" can be set only if the lowest status is 35 ("In Legal Department") and the highest status is "Cleared by Legal Department". This means that the status "Cleared by Legal Department" can be set only if the current status is "In Legal Department".

Example 2: The current status is 30 ("In Processing"). Possible next statuses are all statuses to which the following applies: Lowest status < = current status < = highest status.
Valid next statuses in this example are "In Legal Department" and "Processing Completed".

Comment:

The standard delivery contains a status profile that you can either use unmodified, or as a copy template for your own status profile:

  • FIN_DISPUTE, if you use Accounts Receivable Accounting (FI-AR)
  • DISPUTE, if you use Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA)

Since the integration to accounting does not support the integration of the process rout, you do not have to enter values in the column Event.
