To be distributed set to Forbidden. What does it mean?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Under transaction SPRO select: SAP Solution Manager -> Configuration -> Scenario-Specific Settings -> Service Desk -> Service Desk -> Status Profile -> Change Status Profile for User Status

Double click on either SLFN0001 or ZLFN0001 if you have created it in your system.

Double click on any Status Profile.

At this point you will see the u201CChange Status Profile: Transaction Controlu201D screen.

In the Transaction Control table under column u201CBusiness Transactionu201D there is a value called u201CTo be distributedu201D. Anybody can explain in simple words what are the consequences of selecting the column u201CForbiddenu201D for this row (u201CTo be distributedu201D)?

What does it mean to forbid the distributionu2026? I donu2019t understand.

What the SAP help says about the u201Cforbiddenu201D column is u201CIndicator specifying that the business transaction cannot be carried out if this status is active.u201Du2026 but still this is not very clear to me.

PLEASE HELP!!

Hello Brodo,

Refer to this thread:

Here you get to know what and why is the concept of distribution present in the solman system..

Now, setting the status to forbidden means that the relevant service desk message cannot never be distributed to other systems like ( An R3 or SRM or any other SAP system )....

Inspire ppl by rewarding !!

Hi!

I am not really sure but I think this is a CRM thing and has to do with the upload to R/3.

For the use with ChaRM you must set "to be distributed" to "forbidden" otherwise you won't be able to change the document anymore.

Hope this helps a bit.
