  Check Current Status: Before attempting to change the status of the document, check the current status of the document. If it is already in the desired status, no action is needed.
  Change to a Different Status: If you need to make a change, ensure that you are changing the document to a different status that is valid according to your business process.
  Review Business Process: If you believe the status change is necessary, review the business process to ensure that the change aligns with the intended workflow. Consult with your SAP functional team or business process owner if needed.
