• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CN402 - Status profile changed - all maintained user statuses deleted ?

  The SAP error message CN402, which states "Status profile changed - all maintained user statuses deleted," typically occurs in the context of project management or controlling modules, particularly when dealing with status profiles in SAP.
  Cause:
  This error is triggered when a status profile associated with a project or an order is modified. Specifically, if the status profile is changed in a way that affects the user statuses that have been previously assigned, SAP will delete all user statuses that were maintained under the old profile. This is a safeguard to ensure that the system remains consistent and that user statuses do not conflict with the new profile settings.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Status Profile Changes: Check the changes made to the status profile. Understand what modifications were made and why they might have led to the deletion of user statuses.
  
  
  Reassign User Statuses: If the user statuses were deleted due to the profile change, you may need to reassign or recreate the necessary user statuses under the new status profile.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or configuration guides related to status profiles to understand the implications of changing a status profile.
  
  
  Test in a Development Environment: If possible, replicate the changes in a development or test environment to see how the changes affect user statuses before applying them in the production environment.
  
  
  User Training: Ensure that users are aware of the implications of changing status profiles and the potential for losing user statuses.
  
  
  Backup Configuration: Before making changes to status profiles, consider backing up the current configuration to avoid loss of important settings.
