• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_SUB_DATA023 - Status &1 is not defined in Customizing ?

  The SAP error message CM_SUB_DATA023, which states "Status &1 is not defined in Customizing," typically occurs when the system encounters a status that has not been configured in the Customizing settings for the relevant application area. This can happen in various modules, such as Project System (PS), Plant Maintenance (PM), or others where status management is crucial.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Status Definition: The status that the system is trying to use is not defined in the Customizing settings. This could be due to a missing entry in the status profile or a misconfiguration.
  Incorrect Status Usage: The status might be incorrectly assigned to an object or transaction that does not recognize it.
  Transport Issues: If the status was recently added in a different environment (like development) and not transported correctly to the production environment, it may not be available.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Status Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant Customizing transaction (e.g., SPRO) and navigate to the area where the status is defined.
  For example, in Project System, you would check under "Project System" -> "Structures" -> "Define Status Profiles."
  Ensure that the status in question is defined and correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Define Missing Status:
  
  If the status is indeed missing, you may need to create it. This involves defining the status in the appropriate status profile and ensuring it is linked to the relevant objects.
  
  
  
  Review Object Assignment:
  
  Check if the object (e.g., project, order) is assigned the correct status. If it is using a status that is not valid for its type, you may need to change it.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the status was recently added, ensure that the transport request containing the new status definition has been successfully imported into the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific module you are working with for any additional guidance on status management.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like SPRO for Customizing, CJ20N for Project Management, or IW32 for Order Management, depending on the context of the error.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to status management in your specific SAP version.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes in Customizing.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for further investigation.
