  If necessary, change the status to one that is compatible with the active approval process.
  
  
  
  Activate Approval Process:
  
  If the approval process is not active, you may need to activate it. This can usually be done through the configuration settings in the SAP HCM module.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific HR processes you are working with. This can provide insights into the expected configurations and statuses.
