Add a Status/Entity Association

Use this option to assign a particular status to an existing entity, either as a base status or within the context of a CCID. This does not change the data stored for either the status definition or the entity descriptor (or the CCID, if applicable), but rather creates a junction between these items in the CCDB.

Each entity can have at most one base status assigned to it. Each entity can also have one status assigned to it within the context of any given CCID.

To use this option, follow these steps:

1. Specify option 6 on the Status Functions screen (NDVRU600).
2. Identify the status you want to associate with the entity or leave the status name blank (and supply them in the Detail screen).

   If the status is being defined within the context of a CCID, you can identify that CCID at the bottom of the screen or leave this field blank and, if appropriate, supply it on the Detail screen in Step 2.

3. Press Enter.

   CA Endevor/DB returns the Status/Entity Detail screen (NDVRM620), which contains information for the status, entity (entity descriptor), and CCID specified on the Status Functions screen.

   If necessary, enter the status name and the entity name, type, and version, to identify the status and entity being associated. If the status is being assigned within the context of a CCID, make sure the CCID is identified correctly. Also specify any comments you want associated with the setting of the status.

4. Press Enter to join the status definition, the entity descriptor, and (as appropriate) the CCID.
