How to prevent cProjects phase deletion when status = created

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I have requirement to prevent user from deleting a phase in cProjects. In general, user will be creating a cProjects project by using a project template, we do not want the user to start changing the phase because they need to follow the proper governance set by the project template.

We would like the user to be able to manage task and subtask only. but not the phases. phases should be fixed all the time based on project template that they choose.

Is this possible? customizing or abap solution are welcomed.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

You can achieve this by defining a 'User status'.

Object type - Phase

Business transaction - Delete

Try this and let us know.

Hi Ravi,

Thanks for your guidance. I performed the following.

1. Create a Status Profile

2. Define a User Status

3. Assign the User Status to a Business Transaction

Then Save.

When I open an existing project, navigate to the Phase, hit the delete button, I can still delete the entry.

Hi,

Have you assigned the status profile for the phase for the initial system status 'Created'?

Hi Ravi,

Yes I did, I manually assigned the Status Profile from the Status Management in Project Definition. Then I proceed to hit the delete button
