The message specifies that the lifecycle status must be either &1 or &2, which are placeholders for specific statuses defined in your system.
  Cause:

  The asset you are trying to create a usage object for is not in a valid lifecycle status. For example, the asset might be in a status such as "Inactive" or "Blocked," which does not permit the creation of new usage objects.
