This error indicates that the object you are trying to process (e.g., a production order) is not in a status that allows the action you are attempting to perform.
  Cause:
  
  Order Status: The most common cause is that the order is not in the 'RELEASED' status. It may be in a status such as 'CREATED', 'PLANNED', or 'TECO' (Technically Completed), which do not allow for certain operations.

  Release the Order: If the order is not released, you may need to release it. This can typically be done by selecting the order and using the "Release" function (often found in the menu or as a button).
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the action. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to obtain the required permissions.
  Consult Documentation: If the order should be in the 'RELEASED' status but is not, consult your internal documentation or SAP help resources to understand the workflow and any prerequisites for releasing the order.
