Initial status of ZMCR transaction type

Hi,

We have copied SMCR to ZMCR. When i create the transaction, i see that the status comes up as open but as soon as i save it , the status changes to

Approved for development.  I checked the status profile and action profile and it seems to be correctly maintained ( i may be wrong ).  Is there any other place that i need to check to ensure everything is in place

Thanks

Rajesh
