Status of a Data Record in the Satellite

FD_STATUS

* effective from version 3.3 (before: FLD_STATUS)

The CO/PA interface may be started in a way that only data records with modifications in their contents are posted (see flag „Only unmarked“ in the start screen of the interface program).

A status field must be available in the satellite for this purpose (field type CHAR1): 1 in this field blocks the data record for processing.

Enter the name of the status field in column Value from of constant FD_STATUS.

From the perspective of the planning process, there are two options to handle the status field of the satellite table:

· It will simply be left out on the Excel side. This leads to the field being blank again each time data in the cost center are being updated.

· The field is operated actively on the Excel side, either through manual entry by the planer or by means of a formula.

Note:

If no status field and no mapping is available, each data record will be posted.
