Documentation
Definition
Indicates whether the status given in the respective line is active.
At present the only statuses available for products are Locked and To Archive. The statuses Deleted, Archived, and Archivable can only be set by the archiving programs.
If you set the status Locked for a product, this means that the product can no longer be accessed by other applications. For example:
- No new orders can be created for the product.
- The product catalog is informed that the product is locked and the product no longer appears in the catalog.
However, this status is only significant if the product has been saved in an active form. For inactive products it has no further effect, as they cannot be seen by other applications.
If you set the status To Archive, the active product is flagged for archiving. During the archiving process, the status is set to Archivable if archiving has been activated in the system and the product is not used in any applications, such as the order. If the product is, however, being used, the product will not be checked again until a certain amount of time (customizable) has passed.
The product data is then written to the archive and deleted from the database. All product data is archived except for documents, where only the URL is archived, and conditions. Configurable products cannot be archived.
Products with the status Deleted, Archived, or Archivable can no longer be displayed in product maintenance or used in applications.
Archived products can be displayed from product maintenance by choosing Environment -> Archived Products.
Note
When a material is replicated from the OLTP System, the product status To Archive is set if the material has a deletion flag at material header level. However, the status Locked is set for configurable materials and variants, as these products cannot currently be archived in the CRM System.
