Hi Experts,
Why SAP does not support to change a Status profile after a Project is active? Though it allows you to change the WBS status profile at Project header level, the change does not reflect to the entire Project structure. Yes we can explore the option of substitution. But just want to understand why the System have not made it simple.
There can be valid reason from a Business to change the way that they maintain Statuses in a Project.

Hi Mark,
The Status profile can be changed at time of creation, or once only after creating the project. Once the project status profile has been set and the system asks if you want to make the change, it can no longer be changed as the system changes the field to non modifiable. If there is a requirement to make a change to the user status after they have been set, you are looking at a core table update/change and this is never recommended. The only suggestion I can think of for you is to make the changes to the existing status profile to add in the new user status that you want. Again this does not work if you are trying to remove unwanted status. This is because if you remove a status that is already selected on an existing project it causes a glitch in the tables.
Option two is... if it is imperative to have the new status profile you could close the old projects and restart new ones with the correct status profile. But this would mean a conversion effort and financial statement impacts.
You can change the status profile at project definition level but these changes would be effective for the newly created WBS elements.

Hi Mark,
As far as i know when you make any changes or customization in status profile table TJ20 in running project. then changes will be stored in concern table only as TJ20 table, then system can't read/consider changes in rest of concern tables until you reconstruct database of that project.
CJEN tcode for reconstruction database of project.
