		<Paragraph>When you create a new folder, the folder receives the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/dm/domains/fmg.fldrstat#design" role="enum">Design/Created</GUIRef> status and you can change the contents of the folder. If the folder is in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/dm/domains/fmg.fldrstat#design" role="enum">Design/Created</GUIRef> status, use the content profile to place the ERP objects defined in SSA ERP ODM, in the folder. After the initial design stage, you must lock the folder. The folder status changes to <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Locked</GUIRef> and you cannot modify the folder's contents and properties. To change the properties or content of a folder, the folder must be unlocked and the folder's status changes to <GUIRef href="/baanerp/dm/domains/fmg.fldrstat#design" role="enum">Design/Created</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>

		<List><ListItem><GUIRef href="" role="manual">Design/Created</GUIRef>: The folder is initial design phase. The ERP objects can be linked to the folder.</ListItem>
			<ListItem><GUIRef href="" role="manual">Approved</GUIRef>: The folder is assigned the approved status after the approval process is completed.</ListItem>
			<ListItem><GUIRef href="" role="manual">Revised</GUIRef>: A new version of the approved folder is created for further processing. The new version has the status <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Design/Created</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
			<ListItem><GUIRef href="" role="manual">Locked</GUIRef>: You cannot attach objects or delete the links form the folder.</ListItem>
