PPM Portfolio item is editable after completion

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have completed the PPM item by going through all the decision points and set the Item Status to Completed. Completed is configured as End Status for the item type. I was expecting the item to become read-only after this.

The Item automaticaly moved from Active to Inactive tab, but is still editable. Is there any standard configuration to ensure item is not editable once completed?

Or do we need to code it?

Thanks,

Yomesh

Hi Yomesh,

we had similar requirements in the past. A couple of times we solved it with BAdI /RPM/ITEM_API to modify the field configuration depending on the status (but I think you will not be able to deactivate buttons etc., only fields like in customizing). Another option might be BAdI /RPM/AUTHORIZATION. I just tried method CHECK_CUSTOM_AUTHORIZATION in debugger. That looked promising.

Best regards

Hi Yomesh,

As far as I am aware the portfolio item status does not influence whether or not the other fields are editable in standard. If this is really needed you will have to do some custom development work. I've had this requirement in the past, but it was controlled using authorization (by restricting access to everybody other than the project admin upon completion)
