This error is related to the status management of objects in SAP, particularly in the context of the object status table (JEST).
  Cause:
  
  
  Inconsistent Status Data: The status of the object (OBJNR) is not consistent with the expected values in the system. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Manual changes to the status that do not comply with the defined status management rules.
  Data corruption or inconsistencies in the database.
  Issues during the update process, such as a failed transaction or rollback.
