  Key Concepts: 
  Object state is a concept used in the SCM-FC Fulfillment Coordination component of SAP. It is used to describe the status of an object, such as an order or a shipment, at any given point in time. Object states are used to track the progress of an object through its lifecycle and can be used to trigger certain actions or processes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Object states are used to track the progress of an object through its lifecycle. They can be used to trigger certain actions or processes, such as sending notifications or updating other objects. Object states can be set manually or automatically based on certain conditions. For example, an order may have an “in progress” state when it is being processed and a “completed” state when it has been fulfilled. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to keep track of object states in order to ensure that all objects are being processed correctly and efficiently. It is also important to ensure that all object states are up-to-date and accurate. This can be done by regularly checking the status of objects and updating them as needed. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Object states are closely related to other concepts such as workflow and process automation. These concepts can be used together to create efficient and automated processes that ensure all objects are being processed
