• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BS273 - User status & is not supported ?

  The SAP error message BS273 ("User status & is not supported") typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action on a business object (like a project, order, or asset) that has a user status that does not allow that action. This is often related to the configuration of user statuses in the system.
  Cause:
  
  User Status Configuration: The user status assigned to the object does not permit the action you are trying to perform. For example, if the user status is set to "Completed," you may not be able to change certain fields or perform specific transactions.
  Status Profile: The status profile assigned to the object may not include the necessary transitions or may restrict certain actions based on the current user status.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform actions on objects with certain user statuses.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Status: Review the user status of the object you are working with. You can do this by navigating to the object in question and checking its status in the status overview.
  Review Status Profile: Check the status profile assigned to the object. You can do this in the configuration settings (transaction code SPRO) under the relevant application area (e.g., Project System, Plant Maintenance, etc.). Ensure that the status profile allows the action you are trying to perform.
  Change User Status: If the current user status does not allow the action, you may need to change the user status to one that does. This can typically be done through the user status management functionality in the relevant transaction.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files for the specific application area to understand the implications of user statuses and how they affect transactions.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the action. You may need to consult with your SAP security team if you suspect authorization issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the application area, you may use different transaction codes to manage user statuses (e.g., CJ20N for Project System, IW32 for Plant Maintenance).

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or bugs related to user statuses and the error message BS273.
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP community forums for additional insights.
