SAP Note 25762 - System status with sales orders

Symptom:

Systems status not set by the system in sales orders.

Cause and prerequisites

For results analysis for sales order items, the standard system and the IMG for release 2.2 mention a valuation method for the status 'Revenue posted' = 'RVPS'. This method is not relevant since this status cannot be set. This is an error in the standard system and in the IMG.

The following statuses apply to sales orders:
REL The sales order has been released after being opened, and costs
and revenue can be posted.
DLV The sales order is delivered. From release 3.0C, this status
is determined dynamically during results analysis and can be
used for results analysis.
FNBL The sales order has reached final billing. This status must be set
manually up to and including release 3.0B. From 3.0C onwards, this
status is determined dynamically during results analysis, and
therfore no longer has to be set manually.
TECO The sales order is technically completed. All costs and revenues have been posted. This status must be set manually.

Solution
Standard system and IMG changed for release 3.0.
