Object State and Versioning at a Glance

Each object in the hierarchy tree uses the following object states:

• New

• at work

• released

The initial object state for every object is New. Once you start working on a hierarchy, a product or a product variant, you have to manually set the object state to at work. When all maintenance tasks are finished, you have to manually set the object state to released.

For all objects within the SalesOrg hierarchy and the publication hierarchy, the object state released must be set.

A green circle next to the H icon indicates whether the object state is set to released or not.

Objects with the object state released will be versioned automatically. The versioning details can be viewed in the Versions tab in the product maintenance.
