  Key Concepts: 
  Status file is a file used in SAP ALE (Application Link Enabling) Integration Technology. It is used to store the status of an IDoc (Intermediate Document) that is sent from one system to another. The status file contains information about the IDoc, such as its current status, the time it was sent, and the time it was received. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The status file is used to track the progress of an IDoc as it is sent from one system to another. When an IDoc is sent, the status file is updated with the current status of the IDoc. This allows users to monitor the progress of the IDoc and determine if it has been successfully sent or not. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to regularly check the status file for any errors or issues that may have occurred during the transfer of an IDoc. This will help ensure that all IDocs are successfully sent and received.
