Definition

This field indicates the processing status for correspondence. The status is assigned according to the criteria "status-relevance" and "counterconfirmation status". As of Release 4.5A, a correspondence data record is indicated by an entry in the table field VTBKORES-SSTATUS.

The program assigns the following symbols for status-relevant records:

@5B@ -> Confirmation executed; no counterconfirmation required
@5B@ -> Confirmation executed; counterconfirmation matched

@5D@ -> Confirmation not yet executed
@5C@ -> Confirmation executed; counterconfirmation required

The following symbols are assigned to correspondence data records that do not affect the confirmation status:

@5D@ -> Correspondence not yet executed
@BZ@ -> Correspondence executed

Further notes

  • You can use a customer exit to change the way the icons and texts for each line are displayed in the correspondence monitor (see Customizing for correspondence). This allows you to configure the business processes to reflect your own requirements.
    Example: The red light only appears if counterconfirmation has still not been received from business partner ABCDEF after 90 minutes.
  • Since the table field VTBKORES-SSTATUS is only used from Release 4.5 onwards, the correct symbol is only shown for new transactions or transactions which have been changed since the upgrade from 4.0B.
    If a transaction requiring counterconfirmation was created for Release 4.0B, a gray light appears. The new counterconfirmation function is still based on the information in SSTATUS, which means that the transaction cannot be counterconfirmed from the monitor. You must use the counterconfirmation function in the back office menu to process such transactions.
