WBS User Status validation against another user status

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm aware of a couple of options for retrieving user status info... via BAPI etc... however, this is a question relating to the following:

We have user statuses:

A1

B1

C1

The user can ONLY set C1 if A1 and B1 have already been set. How do you validate for that?

Thanks

You might look at these:

I see a recommendation for using BS32 for user status's, but I've not used this to date.

Hi Neal,

Thanks - I'll have a go at this with the ABAPer...

The status sequence is controlled through the User Status Profile by entering the Lowest and Highest status numbers properly.

This controls how the user status is set.

Of course that would say that you could only have A1 or B1 or C1.  B1 only after A1.  C1 only after B1.  It implies the same thing, but it is not exactly the same as what Krushan said.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. As Neal mentioned below, its not exactly the functionality required... close, but I think its more a validation approach to this then using the status sequence. I'll give Neal's suggestion a try first. Thanks again!

Krushan,

What are your requirements?  The user status sequence is standard behavior.  Why do you need  a validation on this?  Is that what you are asking?

Hi Ken,

The full requirement / current user statuses are as follows which are following a project approval process:

Status     Position     Priority

A1          2                3

B1          2                2

C1          2                1

D1          3                1

D2          3                2

E1          4                1

F1          5                1

A1, B1, C1 will be set as project is approved.

The user then has a choice between D1/D2. Then E1 is set.

The main approving user of the project will then set status F1 - BUT, status F1 can only be set if the previous users have selected specifically BOTH D1 and E1.

Thanks
