SAP Notification Status Tables
The main SAP Tables for Notifications are QMEL, JSTO and JEST.
QMEL: Quality Notification.
QMEL is the SAP Master Data Table for Notification.
Check this post for the SAP PM Main?Tables or this post for SAP QM Maint Tables.
As key, fill the QMEL-QMNUM for the Notification Number.
You have to retrieve Object Number for Status Management?corresponding to?QMEL-OBJNR.
The OBJNR number will look like, depending of your customizing, to [QM+Notification No]
JSTO: Status Object Information
Using the previous QMEL-OBJNR as JSTO-OBJNR, retrieve the Status Profile ( JSTO-STSMA ).
The reference table for STSMA is the TJ20 ( Status Profiles ).
JEST: Individual Object Status
The SAP Standard Table for Status is JEST.
Use the QMEL-OBJNR as JEST-OBJNR to retrieve the list of SAP Notification Status.
If you want to read only active status, make sure you filter by JEST-INACT = ‘ ‘.
The SAP Notification Status will be in JEST-STAT.
For SAP Notifications Status , we have
- System Status: starts with E
- User Status: start with I
TJ30T: Texts for User Status
Once you get the Status and the Status Profile, you can get the descriptions / texts for the SAP Notification Status from the TJ30T using:
- TJ30T-STSMA = JSTO-STSMA
- TJ30T-STAT ? ?= JEST-STAT
The Text for Status can be found in TJ30T-TXT30 field and it is language-dependent.
Remember that TJ30 is the reference table for User Status.
TJ20T: Texts for System Status
As for SAP Notification User Status, the System Status description can be retrieved from TJ20T with :
TJ20T-STMSA = JSTO-STSMA
TJ20T-STAT ? ? = JSTO-STAT
