Status profile

[Former Member]

29.10.07

Hi Gurus,

I have created a Status profile with three options, like 1) Created 2) Approved by sales & 3) Approved by Finance. I have attached the Status profile to the document type.

The problem is when anyone opens the status tab of the document all the tabs are displayed. My requirement is the tabs should be user specific. Eg. the tab "Approved by Sales" should be displayed/ editable by a user and the tab "Approved by Finance" be displayed/editable by a different user?

Any solutions ?

Regards,

Udaynath.

Creating a User Status Profile

Use

Profile that is used to control user statuses. The user status profile is created by the user in general status management and defines the sequence in which user statuses can be activated, initial statuses, and allows or prohibits certain business transactions.

Prerequisites

To ensure that the 'ownership' of work requests is clear, you must create a user status profile in the Implementation Guide (IMG) and assign it to orders, operations, notifications and tasks.

Procedure

To call up the IMG from the initial R/3 screen, choose Tools --- AcceleratedSAP -

---

Customizing --- Project management. The screen Customizing: Project Administration is displayed. Choose the pushbutton SAP Reference IMG.

In the IMG hierarchy, choose Plant Maintenance and Customer Service --- Maintenance Processing and Service Processing and then either:

Maintenance and Service Orders --- General Data --- Maintain User Status for Orders -

---

Define User Status Profiles, or

Notifications --- User Status for Notifications -

---

Define User Status Profiles for Notifications.

Make all the necessary entries and then save the partner profile that you have created.

Perform the assignment of the user status profile to maintenance orders and notifications in the IMG under the respective menu paths:

Plant Maintenance and Customer Service -

---

Maintenance Processing and Service Processing, and then either:

Maintenance and Service Orders --- General Data -

---

Maintain User Status for Orders --- Assign User Status Profile to Order Types, or

Notifications --- User Status for Notifications -

---

Assign User Status to Notification Types.

Hi Krishnan,

go to Tcode PFCG and create a role "Z_Role_VA01", in this role put a transaction VA01, VA02 and VA03.

now in the same transaction (PFCG) go to "Maintain authorization Data and generates profiles" and go to <b>Maintained Cross-application Authorization Objects</b> > <b>Maintained Status Management: Set/Delete User Status</b> >...

and in <b>the Authorization key</b> put Z1 or Z2 (Approved or Sales) and in the <b>Status profile</b> put your Satutus profile that you are create in the BS02 transction.

do note forget to generate the profile .

now create user "Approval" in SU01 and put the first profile with Z1 and an other user "Saler" with and other profile (with Z2). u can request help of an admin or technical consultant.

regards.
