The message states that the employee status is being changed from one status (&1) to another (&2), but the target status is inactive.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Status: The primary cause of this error is that the target employee status you are trying to assign is not active in the system. This could happen if the status was deactivated or if it was never activated in the first place.

  Check Status Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for employee statuses in the SAP system (usually found in the IMG under Personnel Management).
