User status profile for Contract block in SAP SD

[moazzam_ali]

Dear All

We have a business requirement. Let me explain this first.

Requirement is that every contract which is created by any user should be blocked. Some authorized users can release them. Sale order can not be created until the sale order is released.

Once the contract is released it should allow to create sale order. But after releasing contract if there is any change in quantity or net value or payment term etc. It should go in block status again and again those authorized user should release it for further processing.

I have done following things so far.

I have created status profile Z_SD_CON and assigned this in contract type in VOV8. I have also created "Authorization Key" Z0000001 and assigned in user master. But when i crated contract type CQ. It gave me following error.

Status profile Z_SD_CON is not allowed for "Sales order header"

Message no. BS020

Diagnosis

Status profile Z_SD_CON may not be used for object type 'Sales order header'.

Procedure

Use another status profile or allow the use of status profile Z_SD_CON by object type 'Sales order header'.

Please suggest.

Go to BS02, select your Status Profile, place your mouse on Short Text column and press F2. Ensure that you have not selected the box "Forbidden".

Thanks Mr./Ms. Lakshmipathi.

I have not selected it. There is nothing in transactional control yet. Should i maintain this?

But the thing is that error which im receiving is prior to release it. Means when i enter sold to party systems gives me this error

Hi,

As Mr. Lakshmipathi told please check the config in BS02. For your status profile object type should be "Sales order header" Tick the check box.

thanks

Contract is created now and status is INBK (Initial Block), I have created this as first status when a contract will be created, Now i want that system will ask release strategy to release this contract to change its 2nd status which is INRL (released)

Hi,

You can control by defining various Statuses (Individual status of an object) . Once you selected the check box in object type come back and select each status and click on details (f2) now click on New entries (f5) system will show you the Business transactions. Here you can give the Influence and next action for each business transaction.

Like this way you can define en number of status profiles and assign to your document types as per your requirement.

TIP:

1.Authorization object for status profile is : B_USERSTAT

2. you can define the authorization groups also (t code:BS52) to assign against each status

The above both you can assign in user profile (role) ask your basis people to help on this.

Example: Suppose if you defined authorization group as Z123 & assigned against REAL status. Then the user who have the authorization for object B_USERSTAT & group as Z123 can only release the sales order.

Hope this will clear your query

Dear BVDV I understand the use and logics of authorization key and authorization object. Thanks for your help.

I have done all configuration. Now only thing which i cant understand is that how the statuses of contract will automatically be changed.

When i create contract initial status INBK activated in header status user status tab. I have to change it manually to INRL. Again if any user change contract it should be again REBK.

One more thing. Cant we release this contract with VKM3? i want the users to change status with VKM3.

Waiting for your positive response

Hi,

We can apply a turnaround solution. Create the different authorization keys for different status add these to different authorization roles against different t-codes.

Mark the statuses as initial status so that, when the particular t-code is executed, the status automatically changes.

Hi,

VKM3 is for Credit release. Your requirement will not fulfill with the standard configuration. I never done the enhancement for order status. Please try with enhancement by using the exit "USEREXIT_SET_STATUS_VBUK" from Module pool RV45PFZA (SE38).
