Validation to restrict Edit WBS Element no. after Release

[former_member630135]

Hi,

As you know, the system allows us to edit WBS Element no. even after it has been Released.

Is there any validation by which we can restrict users to Edit WBS Element code after it has been Released.

Thanks for any help.

Thanks Sudhakar but I believe you are talking about using user status and restricting changes using B_USERSTAT.

However, we do not want to make it user status dependent and want to create a validation for this.

Do we need to write a custom validation for this purpose.

Why dont you use the standard System status MDLK Master data locked, instead of creating a custom validation. Once released you can set MDLK status, to block master data changes.

Thanks Saurabh but client wants it to be automatic and secondly, MDLK, locks everything else too whereas we want only the code to be greyed out.

Hi Manish,

I think you should do the steps that Sudhakar has proposed you.

Create a user status that it is always activated ( or if you are using one modify this). In this user status you can select wich business operations are forbidden..you should select the ones proposed by Sudhakar

But User Status option is again only for a particular user status, isn't it.We just want it to be greyed out at REL whichever user status it is.

Hi Manish,

You cna create a user status ( without number and independent on the other user status you have in the system) . You can configure that this user status is automatically set when the system status is REL. select in the business transaction "release" the option "set"  ( also you configure in the user status the business transactions forbidden).

Regards!!
