Only used for mass operations on material master records.
Clone process
Defines the status from which a material master can be cloned. The setting will only be used if the status control for Clone; Settings/Copy has been set accordingly and only the field status FROM will be used.
If no values are registered, all status FROM are valid.
Check, Release and Change Process
Defines the status changes to be handled.
If a set has no defined status FROM, all predecessors of status TO are possible. If ProConfiguration is installed, the configurations type will have influence, else all defined status according customizing.
The object relations of ProConfiguration will be respected if a possible status change is checked. The status change list used at run time can be handled with a customer exit.
In case a target status shall be defined (material master has a valid target status which is not set by this process), "--" can be used as special value. These material master records will be marked with icon "valid target status" (green). This may be the case for check processes, in case of released material master records, which are not set by this process.
In case the mass operation is used in combination with ProConfiguration , field "Config.Type" is a filter for the material. With option "Processing Scenario", the relevant processing scenario for the next status (status TO) can be defined.
Processing scenarios are used for change processes. If no configuration type is defined for any status change, the definitions will be valid for all configuration types. A mask with * is possible.
