Release strategy for sales orders

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

My customer has got a requirement of approval of sales order before it actually goes for dispatch, (it is inline with the purchase release strategy).

Hope, SAP does not have a standard solution for this but I understand this can be done through the "status profiles". I dont have any idea how exactly this can be configured, can someone help on this? Please guide with the stepwise configuration.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

User statuses are always defined in a status profile.

Procedure

First, you create a status profile.

Assign the corresponding object types to the status profile.

Define the required user statuses in the status profile.

Assign the user statuses to the corresponding business transactions.

If necessary, translate the status profile and the user statuses.

To be able to work with a status profile, you first need to assign it to the order type in Customizing (Customizing for Shop Floor Control by choosing Master Data - Order - Define Order Types).

For information on how to create a status profile, see Customizing for Shop Floor Control by choosing Master Data - Order - Define Status Profile.

You have to activate the customized status profile.

Regards,

Siddharth.
