How is status drop down list entry generated in Order detail page

[JerryWang]

This blog describes the logic how those status entries in the drop down list are populated.

And it will only focus on the scenario where no status profile maintained for transaction type.

The three entries you see in drop down list are retrieved from this method: CL_CRM_UIU_STATUS_INFO=>GET_STATUS_INFO

These three entries are generated via the following steps.

Step1. fetch all entries from table which is marked as active and is lifecycle status ( lifecycle flag <> space ), there are totally 47 records in my system.

Step2. Loop these 47 records to filter out those which do not fulfill some requirement.

For example, system I1003 ( in process ) combined with business process LCAC will be filtered out, because business process LCAC is not configured as permitted process for COH in table TJ05.

I1003 with LIPR is also filtered out but due to another reason that the customizing says only the following 13 object types are allowed,

and current service order has object type BUS2000116 which is not included, as a result I1003 with process LIPR should never appear in final drop down list.

This is the result which survives from the filtering in the first round.

Step3. Loop the result from previous step, call CRM_STATUS_MAINTAIN_OW to check whether the currently looped status could be reached.

This check is internally done via CRM_STATUS_CHANGE_FOR_ACTIVITY:

After the check of this function module is done, the four highlighted entries below are further filtered out. So finally in WebUI you can only see three entries: Open, In Process and Completed.

You can use the following report to trigger this check:

REPORT crms4_status_check.

ENDCASE.

For example when you specify business process as RELE, it will print out “activity not allowed".

Why RELE is now allowed for current service order? Query table CRM_JEST with order guid, you can find this order has system status I1030 error.

Go to tcode BS22, find system status I1030 with business transaction RELE, here you can find the corresponding action is set as Forbidden.

In the backend this setting is stored in table TJ07:
