• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FH120 - System error: field status group & no longer defined for company code & ?

  The SAP error message FH120 indicates that there is an issue with the field status group for a specific company code. This error typically arises when the field status group that is supposed to be assigned to a particular company code is either not defined or has been deleted.
  Cause:
  
  Field Status Group Deletion: The field status group that was previously assigned to the company code has been deleted or is no longer available in the system.
  Configuration Changes: Changes in the configuration settings related to field status groups or company codes may have led to this issue.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may have been issues during the transport that caused the field status group to be missing.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Field Status Group Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OBY6 (or OBY1 depending on your version) to check the field status groups assigned to the company code.
  Verify if the field status group exists and is correctly assigned to the company code in question.
  
  
  
  Reassign or Create Field Status Group:
  
  If the field status group is missing, you can either reassign an existing field status group or create a new one.
  To create a new field status group, use transaction code OBC4 to define a new field status group and assign the necessary fields.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to see if there were any errors related to field status groups.
  If necessary, re-transport the configuration or manually adjust the settings in the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to field status groups and company codes for any specific guidance or known issues.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the field status behaves as expected.
