  Configuration Issues: The status management settings in the system may not be configured correctly, leading to certain statuses being incorrectly marked as valid or invalid.

  Check Document Status: Review the status of the document or transaction you are trying to process. Ensure that it is in a valid status for the action you want to perform.
  Change Document Status: If applicable, change the status of the document to a valid one that allows the desired action. This may involve reversing a previous action or updating the document.
  Consult Configuration: If you have access to configuration settings, check the status management settings in the relevant module (e.g., Financial Accounting, Treasury) to ensure that the statuses are set up correctly.
  Review Business Rules: Consult with your business process owner or compliance team to understand if there are specific rules that restrict actions based on document status.
  Error Logs: Check the system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
