System Status Lock

[Former Member]

In my company I am creating project, with reference to WBS / Activity we are creatin Purchase order. We want a temporary status in project by virtue of which we can avoid any further PO against the particular project. How to achieve this ?

I tried to do this with lock status in PS but although I set up Lock for Header level WBS still I can make PO against the project.

Wht is significance of system stastus lock ?

Pl suggest.

You can either use user status for controlling this, I've mentioned about how this needs to be done is previous post, link below:

Else you can set Lock Account Assignment for the WBS, this will stop PO creation against the WBS.

Hi Sreeniwas ,

Thnks for prompt reply.

I put Lock status to Header WBS, & tried to create PO for the level 2 WBS. But It allows me to create PO.

I think the status doesn't get inherited by lower level WBS if you've set at a level higher.

You need to set this status on the WBS which you are using as account assignment in the PO. Else use the user status.
