Documentation

Definition

The item object status either permits or forbids versioning functions.

The following transactions and system statuses are used in status management for the versioning functions:

Transactions

• SDVC

  Create Changeable Version

• SDVN

  Set status: Version not ok

• SDVY

  Set status: Version OK

• SDVD

  Delete a version or change it from "Changeable" to "Not changeable".

• SDVP

  Return a version to the item.

Status:

• SDVC

  There is a changeable version for the item.

• SDVN

  The version is not OK.

• SDVY

  The version is OK.

If control using object statuses is activate, the result is version- supported order changes that, typically, look like this:

1. When you create the changeable version, the system sets status SDVC . This status forbids you to return version data to the item (transaction SDVP).
2. Items with versions that require checking using Select Sales Documents by Object Status are selected according to the system status of the item SDVC.
3. The result is a worklist of order items in which you can set the status SDVN or SDVY. You do this in the status view of the item detail screen for the item (set (Version check OK, Version check not OK).
4. Selection can be by status SDVN and SDVY, like selection by status SDVC.
5. Only items with status SDVY allow version data to be transferred to the item (technically, this trasfer is similar to the concatenation of transactions SDVP and SDVD).
6. The transfer of the version resets all the statuses, because the transfer includes transaction SDVD.

If you delete a changeable version (transaction SDVD), all the statuses involved are reset.
