  The SAP error message ACMDT_OBJSTATUS236 indicates that there is a problem with a runtime header entry that references an invalid CTE (Costing Type Element) in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting or Cost Accounting modules when the system is trying to process a transaction that involves a CTE that does not exist or is not valid.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid CTE Reference: The CTE_ID referenced in the error message does not exist in the system or has been deleted.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the Asset Accounting or Cost Accounting settings that lead to the system trying to access a non-existent CTE.
  Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing entries in the relevant tables that manage CTEs.
  Transport Issues: If the CTE was recently transported from another system, it may not have been properly configured or activated in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check CTE Configuration: Verify that the CTE_ID mentioned in the error message exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration settings in SAP (Transaction Codes like OAOA for Asset Accounting or OKB9 for Cost Accounting).
  Review Transaction Data: Look at the transaction data that triggered the error. Ensure that all necessary entries are present and correctly configured.
  Recreate or Correct CTE: If the CTE is missing or invalid, you may need to recreate it or correct its configuration. This may involve creating a new CTE or adjusting the existing one.
  Check for Data Consistency: Use transaction codes like SE11 to check the relevant database tables for inconsistencies or missing entries related to CTEs.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on similar issues.
  Transport Management: If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request and that they were properly activated in the target system.
