It is not a good idea to change the status on your own. As far as I
know what you want to do is not achievable. The documentation
clearly states all items in the SC must be approved at each level
before the next level can be processed. <br>

<div>Hello Ramki , </div>
<div>Thank You for your response . </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there a way through coding/customization , to create
decision sets at item level so that for example when the
line item 1 is approved , it does not have to wait for item 2
? . Basically , what I am looking for is , item 1 status
should be changed to "Approved" so that follow-on documents
will be created.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;
font-size: 12pt;">Or Shall I use any BAPI to change the status
or write custom method to change the item's system status to
"approved " ?.</div>

What you are experiencing in both cases is standard system
behavior. Please see the SAP documentation for <a
