  8. Select New Entries.
  9. Enter a key and a description for each precondition and state whether it must be fulfilled or not.
  10. Select Status Object Types.
  11. State the iPPE objects to which this status is to apply.

Example

Status 0001 (released for construction) for component variants:

Status 0001 can have the following values: 001 for initial and 002 for successful. This shows that a component variant is either released or not released for construction.

The precondition 001 (DMU data available) must be fulfilled before the status 0001 can be set to 002 (successful). You can specify whether this precondition must be fulfilled (cannot be overridden) or may be fulfilled (can be overriden with warning). In the latter case, the status can achieve the value 'successful' even if the precondition has not been fulfilled.

Status 0001 is valid for component variants (S_CSMPST), and is automatically used for all component variants created in the system.

If the component variants have to reach various different statuses and be released, you can state whether the status has preceding statuses that must be fulfilled.
