• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message INV002 - Requested action not possible due to current object status ?

  The SAP error message INV002 ("Requested action not possible due to current object status") typically indicates that the action you are trying to perform on a particular object (such as an invoice, purchase order, or other document) cannot be completed because the object is in a status that does not allow that action. This can occur in various modules, including Materials Management (MM), Sales and Distribution (SD), or Financial Accounting (FI).
  Causes:
  
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that prohibits further actions. For example, an invoice might be already posted, or a purchase order might be closed.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to perform the requested action on the object.
  Incomplete Data: Required fields or data may be missing or incomplete, preventing the action from being executed.
  Business Rules: Certain business rules or workflows may restrict actions based on the current status of the object.
  Locked Objects: The object may be locked by another user or process, preventing any changes.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Object Status: Review the status of the object you are trying to modify. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction and checking the document flow or status.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to perform the action. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to request the appropriate access.
  Complete Required Fields: Make sure all mandatory fields are filled out correctly. If any required data is missing, complete it and try again.
  Consult Business Rules: Check if there are any specific business rules or workflows that apply to the object. You may need to follow a different process based on these rules.
  Unlock the Object: If the object is locked, you may need to wait for the other user to complete their action or contact your SAP administrator to unlock it.
  Use Transaction Codes: Use relevant transaction codes to check the status of the document (e.g., ME23N for purchase orders, FB03 for invoices) and see if there are any additional details or messages that can help diagnose the issue.
