Key Improvements for Business Sales order Block: ! Sales orders can be blocked at the item as well as at header level using status profile. It acts like a workflow and only users with relevant authorization can remove this block. !

Process Steps: ! An Item level status profile block is activated in the system
! This block is set to “NAPP Not Approved” Status while creating the sales order ! The sales order is not allowed for further processing ! Fiori Apps - Remove Order Block, unblocks the default block and sets the status to “APP Approved” ! The sales order is now allowed for creation of outbound delivery

! Condition records created in SAP can be blocked for verification by authorized personnel before the condition is used for the sales order pricing
! While creating condition records, the “processing status” can be set to “Blocked”
! Although it is a standard functionality, the custom Fiori apps allow users to remove the block using mobile devices
! The block status prevents the records to be used during a Sales order pricing ! The custom Fiori app is used for removing condition record block and moves the condition record to “Released” status
