Access

• PM Administration → PMO: Control Modules → Check Status Report Creation and Project Applications
• PLANTA portfolio → Administration → Edit approvals → Check Status Report Creation and Project Applications

Information

• In this module, released status reports, project applications, and program applications, as well as projects without status reports, are displayed in the defined period.
• The approval can be canceled.
• New status reports can be created automatically for multiple projects at the push of a button.

Details

• When canceling the release, the previous status report/project application is set to active again.
• For runtime reasons, this is a one-step functionality in the standard system, i.e., the system uses the status to search for the previous status report.
• This can be changed by individual customizing if necessary.

Project, program, proposal status reports: Cancel Release

• In the Project, program, proposal status reports: cancel release area, released status reports and controlling reports of main projects, programs, and proposals are displayed.

Notes

• The release can only be canceled for the last released status report.
• If you try to cancel the release for another (older) report, the Cannot cancel release because a newer released status report exists message will be displayed.
• If the release for the last released status report is canceled, the previous released status report automatically becomes the last released report.

• The release for baseline status reports and controlling reports cannot be canceled.
