Recommendation Status Values for Independent SAP Systems

FlexNet Manager Suite 2020 R2 (On-Premises)

When you process the recommendations in a Process Recommendations Offline report on an independent SAP system, you have the choice to accept, reject, or overwrite the recommendations. By doing so, you change the status of the recommendation.

The status of a recommendation is also influenced by the checks that are performed during the import process; that is, recommendations are set to a specified status automatically when conditions are fulfilled.

Recommendations can have one of the following status values.

Status Description
Pending This status is assigned automatically during import to recommendations that have already been imported, but that have not been processed (no status was assigned). When an updated recommendation is imported for the same user, the status of the existing pending recommendation is automatically set to Unprocessed so that the new recommendation can be taken into account.
Accepted Recommendations that have been accepted (the license type was updated according to the recommendation) have the status Accepted.
Rejected Recommendations that have been rejected (the license type was not changed) have the status Rejected. When you reject a recommendation, you can select whether recommendations for that user should be ignored indefinitely or until a date that you specify.
Overwritten Recommendations that had their license type changed to a value that is different to the recommended value have the status Overwritten. When you overwrite a recommendation, you can select whether recommendations for that user should be ignored indefinitely or until a date that you specify.
Ignored The status of recommendations for users who have an active Ignore date will automatically be set to Ignored during import. When you reject or overwrite a recommendation, you can select whether recommendations for that user should be ignored indefinitely or until a date that you specify.
Unprocessed Recommendations that have the status Pending at the time when a new recommendation is imported are automatically set to the status Unprocessed. This alerts you that the recommendation is obsolete. Recommendations with the status Unprocessed only appear in the Recommendations History report, and their status can not be changed.
