Hi Tanmay,
There is no issue with your business process to reverse and correct profile values. Please see my list of steps below for further information.
1) You have profile values, valid values. These will have a status of IU012. No problem here.
2) When you bill them they will be locked down (i.e. you cannot change them). No problem here either. The values at this point do not have a protected status.
3) From here, profile values can be protected in two ways. When I mean protected, I mean have a protected status (IU018) applied to them.
- Either via the mass change in dialog in EEDM01, check the version history please if someone has done this manually. This can happen if the profile values are billed.
- Or if the profile values have been exported using one of the two BAPIs
(BAPI_ISUPROFILE_GET or BAPI_ISUPROFILE_GET_POD) where the status update flag has been ticked. As above, this is allowable if the profile values have been billed
4) At this point your profile values will have a status of IU012 and IU018. This is completely normal.
5) When you go to reverse your billing, the protected status is NOT removed automatically. This is also normal. This is where you need to follow the instructions in my first post by using the mass change to 'Undo Value Protection'.
6) Barring any of the above, I suggest you check to see if you have made any enhancements (i.e. implicits, BADIs, user exits) to the standard IS-U-EDM logic and process that would prevent you from doing any of the above. Of which you may need to look into this further
Regards
Zane
