Pablo,
There are two distinct items you are dealing with on this.
1: Software Bulletin/Update (Software/Patch, actual software binaries to be installed on a device)
2: Policy
The Software Bulletin is showing 'Enabled' indicating it's availability for deployment because it has been downloaded and now in your repository. So it's ready to be deployed if there is an associated policy defining how it is to be deployed or installed, thus the 'Enabled' status on the software/patch alone.
Policy is just the instruction set on how the software/patch is to be installed (and all that goes with that, etc).
You can't have a successful deployment without both... Enabled = Software/Patch is downloaded and in the repository on the NS.

Hello,
Thanks for the quick reply. One last, why the report shows such information? What does exactly means that column? the bulletin is enabled??
Thanks for the clarification.

Hi Pablo,
You're right - this column displays the status of bulletin (whether it's enabled for distribution or not), not policy.
It would be problematic to display the status of policy in this report as updates from specific bulletins could be included into numerous policies, only part of updates could be included, etc.
Thanks,
Dmitri.

Hello,
I have detected that the "Bulletins and Updates" report is showing some Software Update policies as "enabled" being the policy disabled. Has someone else noticed the same?
For us is important because I have some sheets where I gather all information and bosed of that Im controlling the different Software Updates policies.
As you can see below, the reports returns that the bulletin is enable but the policy is disabled. Maybe what the report is referring to is not about the policy but about the bulletin itself but I would not have sense for me...
Thanks a lot for clarify.
