Documentation

Definition

The user status is controlled by a workflow. You cannot set it manually.

Use

The workflow is triggered by events.

The business object type BUS1194001 supplies the following events for recipes:

Event    System status is set to

INACTIVE    Inactive

INWORK    In Process

OBSOLETE    Obsolete

PROCESSINGCLOSED    Processing Closed

REJECTED    Rejected

RELEASE    Released

USAGESPECIFIED    Released for Scope of Application

The Define Events for System/User Status transaction (BSVY) enables you to assign a user status to one of the events above.

You use the Workflow Builder (transaction SWBD) to create a workflow that is started in the event. You can, for example, set a subsequent system status or user status in the workflow. You have to code the workflow yourself.

The workflow does not have any of its own authorizations. If you require authorization checks, you have to define them yourself.
The user status uses the B_USERSTAT authorization object to make sure that the current user also has the authorizations he or she needs. You can make this setting in the Set Up User Status Profile IMG activity for your user status in the Auth. Code field.

Relationship between the status and the workflow:

  • A system status can initiate a workflow (via an event)
  • A user status can initiate a workflow (workflow via event)
  • A workflow can set a system status (coded in workflow)
  • A workflow can set a user status (coded in workflow)
  • You code the workflow yourself
