Understanding Detail Status Codes

As you move a change request through various approval stages, you constantly update its status by using detail status codes. You define detail status codes in the Change Request Detail Status Update Table (F53101).

A detail status code defines the stage in the approval process for each account type (cost, revenue, subcontract) in a line item of a change request. Each account type on a detail line can be at a different approval stage. When you set up detail status codes, you can associate ledger types with the detail status codes that represent later stages in the process. Assigning one of these detail status codes to an account automatically updates the ledger that is associated with the detail status code. Detail status codes have other attributes that are assigned to them to define such things as whether the code represents cost, revenue, or subcontract information, and whether the amount that updates the ledger is the original, quoted, final, or best amount.
