• Key Concepts: 
  Status numbers are used in SAP Controlling (CO) to indicate the current status of a cost element or cost center. They are used to track the progress of a cost element or cost center and can be used to determine if a certain action needs to be taken. Status numbers can range from 0 to 99, with each number representing a different status. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Status numbers can be used to track the progress of a cost element or cost center. For example, if a cost element has a status number of 0, it means that it is not yet active and needs to be activated before it can be used. If the status number is 1, it means that the cost element is active and can be used. Similarly, if the status number of a cost center is 2, it means that the cost center is closed and no further transactions can be made in it. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to keep track of the status numbers of your cost elements and cost centers in order to ensure that they are being used correctly. Additionally, it is important to remember that status numbers can range from 0 to 99, so make sure you are aware of what each number represents before making any changes.
