• Key Concepts: 
  A status selection profile is a feature of the SAP Project System (PS) component that allows users to define the statuses that are available for selection in a project. It is used to control the statuses that can be assigned to project elements, such as activities, networks, and WBS elements. The profile also defines the order in which the statuses are displayed in the selection list. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use a status selection profile, first create a profile in the Customizing application. Then assign the profile to a project type or individual project. When creating or editing an element within the project, users will be able to select from the statuses defined in the profile. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a status selection profile, it is important to consider how it will be used in practice. For example, if you want to restrict users from selecting certain statuses, make sure that those statuses are not included in the profile.
