There is a requirement of the client, that project should be released at the last level WBS only. So is there any idea, how to control user, so that user can not release at any other level other last level WBS.
Most simple way is the combination of user status and authorization matrix combination. Automation of setting user status is not possible in standard system.
Ideally you should convince your client and implement this. This will avoid unnecessary developments & complexities.
Use the functionality of User Status. Configure a user status to prohibit the release. Assign this user status to all the WBS elements except the last level. There is some manual intervention required here, but this is the most simplest and standard way. You can also maintain authorizations for User status and allow only the concerned people to set this user status.
Thanks for your reply. I've configured that in the system but the problem is manual change of user status is not acceptable to client. Is there any possibility, so that system will automatically change the user status.
It is suggestible to maintain 'user status' for controlling the releasing of wbs elements (other than 4th level WBS elements) and also u can control the same through validation or by maintain separate authorization matrix.
There is no automation process for releasing 4th wbs elements automatically.
User status is simple standard way of doing this but if you don't want manual steps in this use validation functionality.
I agree that in validation you don't have any existing parameter to mention in check but you can use exit to write the required fuctionality to check the status.
I believe with this you can meet your requirement.
