  The SAP error message CU328 indicates that there is an issue with an object dependency in the context of change management. Specifically, it means that the object dependency you are trying to work with has a subsequent status that is linked to a change number. This typically occurs in the context of variant configuration or when managing change numbers in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Subsequent Status: The object dependency (e.g., a variant configuration dependency) has a status that is not compatible with the operation you are trying to perform. This could be due to the dependency being locked or in a state that does not allow changes.

  Solution:
  
  Check Change Number Status: Verify the status of the change number associated with the object dependency. Ensure that it is in a state that allows changes (e.g., released).
  Release Change Number: If the change number is still in a draft or in-process state, consider releasing it if appropriate.
  Review Object Dependency: Check the object dependency for any inconsistencies or issues. You may need to adjust its status or properties.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like CU02 (Change Object Dependency) or CU03 (Display Object Dependency) to review and modify the object dependency as needed.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on managing object dependencies and change numbers.
  Contact Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
