The product status represents the phase of the product in the product life cycle. For each product status, you can define a set of rules to allow, warn for, or block specific actions.
Example: A product is at the end of its life cycle. Therefore, it must be blocked for use on a sales order line. To do so, use a product status called "End of life" for which use in sales order lines is blocked.
Product statuses are a prerequisite for creating an engineering product type.
Steps
Go to Product engineering > Setup > Product status.
Click New.
In the Status field, type a value.
Click Refresh rules.
For each of the shown actions, you can set up a rule. For each action, define if it is allowed, blocked, or a warning is given for the product status.
Example
You want to prevent new products from being processed in a sales order. To do so, use a product status called ‘New’ for which sales order processing is blocked.
