  Key Concepts: 
  Status and action schema is a feature of SAP Production Engineering and Operations (PP-PEO) that allows users to define the status of an object and the actions that can be taken on it. It is used to control the flow of production orders, material requirements, and other objects in the system. The schema consists of a set of statuses and actions that are linked together in a hierarchical structure. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The status and action schema is used to define the statuses and actions that can be taken on an object. The statuses are linked together in a hierarchical structure, with each status having one or more associated actions. For example, a production order may have a status of “In Progress”, which has associated actions such as “Start”, “Pause”, “Complete”, etc. 
  The user can then define the workflow for the object by setting up the statuses and actions in the schema. This allows them to control the flow of production orders, material requirements, and other objects in the system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up the status and action schema, it is important to consider how each status and action will affect the workflow of the object. For example, if an action is set up incorrectly, it could lead to delays or errors in production orders or material requirements. It is
