Hi everyone,
We encounter the following problem;
We have a grantor application and from there we create a grantor agreement via the copy control settings in customizing.
Both transaction types have their own status profile (user status).
Now, when we have created the agreement (as follow up document), we are missing some of the user statussses, for example 'CANCEL'.
This is simply not available to select.
Investigation turns out that this is due to the fact that the preceding document (grantor application) is not yet completed. After we manually change the status of the application to 'Completed', then in the agreement we can select the missing user status.
How can we fix this? It is not a workable solution to first create the follow up document, then go back to the preceding document to change the status of that document and then go back again to the follow up document and start processing that one.
I was told that it should be possible with normal customizing to make sure that the follow up document is "leading" and will not be affected by any status of the preceding document.
Another option would be to use some function modules and badi's to make sure that the status of the preceding document is automatically set to completed during the copy control.
But to be honest, we would prefer not to enhance any FM's and/or badi's but to use standard customizing.
Does anybody have some ideas how to solve this.
Thank you very much for your help.
Regards,
Pieter
