Treatment of Allevo Status in FP

STATUS_INFO

* New from version 3.2

In order to use FP for writing plan data, the corresponding planning object must have a valid entry in the Allevo status management. This ensures that Allevo license terms will be complied with also when planning with FP.

In the standard case, FP creates the entry on the status itself upon the first posting to a new planning object (e.g. upon the first posting to a cost center): the status information „3“ is automatically written in the current planning year: with „FP“ as name for the corresponding Allevo layout and simultaneously as abbreviation for the version.

This constant allows to modify this default behavior.

Note:

Layout “FP“ and version “FP“ are not obligatorily required to be available in the system; it is however recommended to create at least the Allevo layout FP (without further data), in order to obtain an overview of objects that have been posted by FP so far via the status management.

FP cancels the posting if an object has been blocked for planning via Allevo status 4 (=completed) or higher.

A different behavior may be defined via the constant STATUS_INFO. The following entries are possible in column Value from:

1 Status is NOT set automatically, must be entered explicitly via the Allevo status management before. If the status is invalid (other than 01,02 or 03), no postings will be performed; instead, an error message will appear in the FP log.

2 Posting is also performed if Allevo status is 4 = completed; the entry on the status will automatically be reset to 03.

The column Value to may contain an individual abbreviation for layout and version (as alternative standard entry „FP“). Entries must be made separated by comma; e.g. „KST,0“ to write into layout KST using version 0. With an entry „?“ on layout and/or version, FP takes the respective specification from the layout provided by the Allevo call.
