SET_PREDOC status for predecessor works inconsistently

[Former Member]

Dear experts,

Have a strange problem with status attributes in CHARM.

I added status PENDING to ZMHF and ZMCR.

I need to get ZMCR in Pending every time ZMHF is in Pending,

but when ZMHF gets back to In Development (E0002), I need ZMCR to come back to "Being Implemented"(E0015)

I configured status attributes for ZMHF and ZMCR this way - SET_PREDOC is defined for E0002 in ZMHF

And status attributes for predecessor:

and it does not work - no matter what I try.

BUT... it does come back to status "Being Implemented" when ZMHF is set to "Successfully Tested" (E0005) though,

which has exactly same configuration as E0002.

I needed configuration for E0005 because I also set ZMCR to Pending when ZMFH is in "To be tested" status.

So when ZMHF comes out of "To be Tested" (ZMCR in Pending) to "Successfully Tested" - ZMCR does switch to "Being Implemented"(E0015) correctly.

So I should say the problem is probably not with ZMCR-E0015, but rather with ZMHF-E0002....it seems that SET_PREDOC does not work for this status.

Has anyone experienced this problem ?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you

I guess no one else had this issue before...

I opened OSS message, but SAP came back saying it is consulting effort...Yeah, I know

So I looked at all my available options and figured that the action "Re-set to "In Development" does NOT allow SET_PREDOC to work correctly because of a special container in the method.

So I ended up creating my own action to just set status of ZMHF to E0002 and do nothing else.

And it worked. Now my ZMCR is also reset back to "Being Implemented" from "Pending", when ZMHF is re-set to "In Dev" from Pending.
