In standard system, this is not possible.

Can system status be set through user status automatically? 

What do you mean by this? System statuses are set based on certain transaction that are carried out at different phases of project. User status can be used as an extra level control. You can not use user status to set system status. System super-seeds user status.

Hi Amaresh,

The requirement is that I want to set Lock Budget status (BMLK) automatically after budgeting(CJ30). So that no one can go for further budgeting in that WBS element. I don't want to go for manual process.

Any suggestion from anyone will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

A BAPI would help you to achieve this i guess. Check this BAPI, BAPI_BUS2054_SET_STATUS. Not sure if i remember correctly. Though you can check.

Check these function modules as well,

STATUS_CHANGE_INTERN

STATUS_CHANGE_EXTERN

Hope it helps.
