Use

This Customizing activity describes the idea and the system behavior if you change the process flow for items, and provides a quick overview about the following related settings:

    Within the productive system, if you have Admin or Owner authorization, you can change the item type of an item. The decision points of the running item are then changed also to correspond with the new item type. An item can have several decision points, so for an item type change to be possible it depends on the decision point that is currently in progress. You can only change to a permitted item type that has been defined in the Customizing activity Define Portfolio Item Types with matching decision points that are available and active. You can choose whether completed decision points are deleted, or renamed according to the new item type decision points.

In the Customizing activity Make Settings for the Status Mapping for Items, you can set up the configuration for change process status mapping. You define a status mapping between item types and permitted target item types for switching to, and also between the corresponding lower-level decision points.

You can use the BAdI: Change Process for Items to influence the result of the process change before the information is saved to the database at a suitable location. It enables the transfer of data from old decision points to the recreated business objects. You can use it to enhance the standard of the process change feature for the item.

Requirements

You have activated the process change by choosing the Customizing activity Override Default Global Settings.

You have set up the permitted item types for switching to, by choosing the Customizing activity Define Portfolio Item Types.
