The product status represents the phase of the product in the product life cycle. For each product status, you can define a set of rules to allow, warn for, or block specific actions. 

Example: A product is at the end of its life cycle. Therefore, it must be blocked for use on a sales order line. To do so, use a product status called "End of life" for which use in sales order lines is blocked.

Standard procedure

1.	Go to Product engineering > Setup > Product status.
2.	Click New.
3.	In the Status field, type a value.
4.	Click Refresh rules.
5.	For each of the shown actions, you can set up a rule. For each action, define if it is allowed, blocked, or a warning is given for the product status.
	Note: Example: You want to prevent new products from being processed in a sales order. To do so, use a product status called “New” for which sales order processing is blocked.
6.	Close the page.
