Status Profile: Business Transaction Control Config (OK02)

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I would need to know the use of the options 'no actions', 'set' and 'delete' under the Business transaction control in Status Profile (User Status) --> you will need to double click on each of the statuses to view the Business Transaction Control - they are the last 3 columns. Please provide specific example as well.

Also, could you help to advise the relevance of the 'lowest' and 'highest' columns in the initial screen? Please also advise the relevance of position and priority as well.

I am really having difficulty understanding the definition from SAP for both items.

Thanks!

no actions - do nothing ie the user status does nothing for the respective business transactions

set - the user status is set when that business transaction is active

delete - the user status is unset when the business transaction is active

lowest and highest is a number given to user status

ZABC 10 to 30

ZXYZ 20 to 40

Z123 40 to 60

This means that to set user status Z123, the system has to be first on ZXYZ. If the object has ZABC it cannot be set to Z123 directly

position and priority

ZABC position 1 priority 1

ZXYZ position 1 priority 2

If both user status are active then in first position on the user status bar you will see ZABC as it has position 1 with priority 2

If you want to see both then do as follows

ZABC position 1priority 1

ZXYZ position 2 pr 1

hope that helps

Good explanation Virendra.

Also go through the link: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/4c/225e5e46e611d189470000e829fbbd/frameset.htm

Hi Viendra,

Thanks for your reply, just want to have the below follow up questions:

set - the user status is set when that business transaction is active -

---

> which status? from what I understand the 'Set' is the NEXT ACTION (as per config screen). let's say in OPUK the 'Set' radiobutton of status is marked for business trans AAAA, does it mean whenever business trans AAAA is performed then it will set to the current status or next status (next status - status with the next number).

delete - the user status is unset when the business transaction is active --> do u mean if the business transaction is executed it will unset its current status? if yes will it set to a next status autimatically? (based on status number?)

position and priority

ZABC position 1 priority 1

ZXYZ position 1 priority 2

If both user status are active then in first position on the user status bar you will see ZABC as it has position 1 with priority 2 -

---

> sorry im confused, do you mean only ZABC will be shown since it has priority 1 (and ZXYZ will no longer be shown since its position has been taken by ZABC)?

Example:

if setting is:

ZABC position 1 priority 1

ZXYZ position 1 priority 2

ZZZZ position 1 priority 3

YYYY position 1 priority 2

Result: Only ZABC and YYYY will be shown since ZXYZ and ZZZZ's position has been occupied by ZABC already

If you want to see both then do as follows

ZABC position 1priority 1

ZXYZ position 2 pr 1

-

> for this one do you mean both ZABC and ZXYZ will be shown in below order:

ZABC

ZXYZ

--> What is I have something like this? How is it being displayed in system

ZABC position 1 priority 2

ZXYZ position 2 priority 1

For the 'position' field, what is the highest num I can specify? 5?

Thanks!

transaction is OK02 and not OPUK

set user status - for example if I click radio button set against business transction Release (system status), then when the object is released the user status will be set

unset - same as above, except unset instead of set

only ZABC will be shown as it has pos 1 and prior 1 (my typo error)

-

if setting is:

ZABC position 1 priority 1

ZXYZ position 1 priority 2

ZZZZ position 1 priority 3

YYYY position 1 priority 2

Result: Only ZABC and YYYY will be shown since ZXYZ and ZZZZ's position has been occupied by ZABC already

VP -> for above - yes only ZABC and YYYY will be shown although all 4 user status may be active

-

---

-

---

> for this one do you mean both ZABC and ZXYZ will be shown in below order:

ZABC

ZXYZ

VP -> actually it will be sides

the user staus status screen is -

ZABC ZXYZ

-

---

--> What is I have something like this? How is it being displayed in system

ZABC position 1 priority 2

ZXYZ position 2 priority 1

VP -> assuming that these are the only statuses, system might not allow prior 2 if 1 is not there

ZABC ZXYZ

-

---

For the 'position' field, what is the highest num I can specify? 5?

VP -> once it starts to beyond 6, usually the desing needs to be reviewed, the number is more sependent on what you can physically see on the SAP screen with standard resolution - so you have to bear that in mind as well

Hi VP,

Thanks for your reply. Just a little clarifications.

Yes, the transaction code is OK02, sorry for the typo. For the 'Set' User Status, if below is my actual config:

OK02:

Status 10 - IDEN

Influence Next Action

Bus Trans No Influence Allowed Warning Forbidden No Action Set Status Delete Status

Complete X X

Confirm WBS X X

Confirm order X X

Lock X X

Lock assignment X X

Lock budgeting X X

Lock dates X X

--> now let's say the WBS is currently set as status 10 IDEN.

a). if someone suddenly do 'complete' (this is not a system status right?). as it is indicated as 'Set Status', what status will be set? user status or system status? What will be the value for the status to be set?

a). if someone suddenly do 'confirm WBS' (not a system status right?). as it is indicated as 'Set Status', what status will be set? user status or system status? What will be the value for the status to be set?

Also, may I know where I can see list of system status?System status cannot be defined / added by user right?

Vivian

[virendra_pal]

both complete and confirm are system statuses and apply to different objects, the user status IDEN will be set when object is completed or confirmed

I think you need to test these out in your system, now that you know the theory

transaction BS23 to see and modify all system statuses (do not recommend to change anything as it SAP standard) and is considered a modification

Hi VP,

Just to confirm. There are 2 sections in OK02: 1). Influence 2). Next Action

for a particular status setting in OK02, the "influence" is used for setting the specific message/warning (allow, forbidden, warning) AFTER the business transaction is executed. --> no question about it.

The thing that I am really confused is for the "Next Action" particularly for the 'Set':

- is it used to set to the specific Status ONLY AFTER the business transaction is executed?

The scenario here is for status 10-AAAA you have business transaction XYZ and have the 'SET' radiobutton ticked.

Now let's say current status of WBS is 10-AAAA, after the bus trans XYZ is executed, what status will be set for the WBS?? or do you mean it will re-set again to the same status - 10-AAAA or the next status 20-BBBB?

Thanks!

Hi VP,

"both complete and confirm are system statuses and apply to different objects, the user status IDEN will be set when object is completed or confirmed"

Ok, but what if you have 5 user statuses and each of them have complete and confirm radiobutton ticked? which status will system set for the WBS as there are multiple user statuses with the same setting.

Thanks!
