How to make disable WBS elements field when project status is closed

[Former Member]

Hi experts

When projects are closed by assigning closed status, system still allows to modify allmost all the fields of WBS element. How can we make disable all fields when we assign closed status for the project?

Hi ,

After Closing the WBS change its status to locked. thru Edit > Stastus > lock > all. But over there U have to select all WBS element in WBS elelement Overview Just locking top level WBS will not lock the data of bottom one.

that's true .....

you can do following things -

1 Use LOCK status for making all fields non-editable ( except custom user fields)

2. try building a substitution for WBS wherein it should check status of WBS (CLSD) & set MDLK (lock master data ) to all WBS

One way could be you set status Master data locked for that object. But you have to set this status to all the project object..

Hi,

This can be possible through use of status profile (transaction code OK02)

create two status profile

1) for project defn 2) for wbs element

then you can assign various statuses to above 2 profiles.

example:

you can create "CLSD" as a user status which can be assigned both status profiles.

double click on "CLSD" status at the top, click on "New Entries" here you can enter various business transactions which can be forbidden once you set user status as "CLSD".

below are the some exapmles which can be forbidden(disable) after setting the "CLSD" status in proj defn. & wbs element.

Assign PS texts,Change WBS number,Change structure,Complete,Complete back to tech complete

,Confirm WBS,Create change document,Delete basic dates,Delete element,Expand structure,Funds commitment,Lock,Lock master data,Maintain settlement rule,Mark for deletion

same way you can do it for wbs element status profile.
