Staus Profiles - QM

Hello Friends,

As per requirement, users to follow this sequence for completing inspection cycle.

1. Complete result recording (closure of all characteristics up to status 5)
2. Entire stock posting
3. Usage decision

In standard as such, there is no any restriction for this. For example users can do stock posting or UD even if the results are NOT recorded. For streamlining few functional practices a need has arisen to adhere to above sequence, leading to following requirement.

1. If result recording for all characteristics in a particular lot (up to status 5) is NOT done, then entire stock posting AND / OR UD should NOT be done.
2. Likewise until, entire stock posting is done UD should NOT be done.

I have done following to address this.

1. Created a status profile with 3 status numbers, as follows.
2. Of which status A is marked as initial

1. Status A contain,
   1. Complete inventory posting               – forbidden and no action
   2. Make usage decision                         – forbidden and no action
2. Status B contains,
   1. Close inspection – complete         - Allowed and flag status set
   2. Complete insp. - short-term        - Allowed and flag status set
   3. Complete inventory posting         - Allowed and no action
   4. Make usage decision                   – Forbidden and no action
   5. Record inspection results             - Allowed
3. Status C contains,
   1. Access usage decision                 - Allowed
   2. Change usage decision                - Allowed
   3. Close inspection – complete         - Allowed and no action
   4. Complete insp. - short-term        - Allowed and no action
   5. Complete inventory posting         – Allowed and flag status set
   6. Make usage decision                   - Allowed and no action
   7. Record inspection results             - Allowed

Issues facing

1. After successful completion of all results up to status 5, the user status is not getting automatically set to status B, even if flag is set for Close inspection – complete. Currently this has to be done manually.
2. With user status B, complete inventory posting is possible and after complete inventory posting system sets the status C automatically. This is desired effect and ok.
3. After stock posting status of inspection lot changes to INSP RREC SPCO. At this stage (user status is C), system doesn’t allow usage decision even if make usage decision is marked as allowed in above customization.
4. Can this requirement be addressed alone with status profile without any exit?
5. Also, I find that the use status can be changed in change inspection lot menu manually. It can be restricted that to earlier status it shouldn't reach, by means of lower and highest status number.
6. But can we restrict it in such a way that if status A is active it should not be manually switched on to status B or C. It should happen automatically upon fulfillment of required parameters.

Any solutions for this? Thank you in advance.
