Title
Conversion to general status management: Order types

Purpose
Functions were added to the general status management for Release 4.0,which could previously only be used in order status management. Now youare able do the following:
,,- Define a status-dependent field selection
,,- Assign status-dependent authorizations
,,- Make selections by status number
This means that order status management is no longer necessary, andthis will no longer be supported in future releases. Therefore, SAPrecommends that you no longer use order status management.
The RKOSTAT1 program enables you to automatically convert order typesfrom order status management to the general status management.

Selection
Selection is made using the order type, where only orders types withcategory 01 (CO internal order), 02 (CO accrual order) are selected.

Output
Once the program has run, the list screen displayed contains the errormessages and the number of selected and converted order types.

Activities
The RKOSTAT1 program for converting order types is started in thesystem in which you customize. It is linked to the CustomizingOrganizer to enable transport of the generated status profiles and theconverted order types.
The system generates a status profile for all of the selected ordertypes whose order status management is activated. It then enters thestatus profile in the order type and then the general status managementis activated in the order type. The profile name comprises a prefix(displayed on the selection screen) and the order type. The logonlanguage is the maintenance language for the profile. A field selectionthat may have been defined for each order status is transferred to thegenerated user status.
