  The SAP error message EFORMULA035 indicates that a status group specified in a formula or configuration is not defined in the Customizing settings. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's formula processing, particularly in areas like variant configuration, production planning, or other modules that utilize status management.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Status Group: The status group referenced in the formula or configuration does not exist in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The status group may have been incorrectly configured or deleted.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from another system, the status group may not have been included in the transport request.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Status Group Definition:
  
  Go to the Customizing transaction (SPRO).
  Navigate to the relevant area where the status groups are defined (e.g., for variant configuration, it might be under "Product Configuration").
  Verify if the status group in question is defined. If it is missing, you will need to create it.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify Status Group:
  
  If the status group does not exist, create it by following the appropriate steps in the Customizing menu.
  If it exists but is incorrectly configured, modify it to ensure it meets the necessary requirements.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the configuration was recently transported, check the transport requests to ensure that the status group was included.
  If it was not included, you may need to transport it again or manually create it in the target system.
  
  
  
  Review Formula or Configuration:
  
  Check the formula or configuration that is causing the error to ensure that it references the correct status group.
  Make any necessary adjustments to ensure that the correct status group is being used.
  
  
  
  Testing:
