  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/LM_PM_ADDO0C156 indicates that there is a conflict in the status profile configuration where two statuses have been assigned the same priority. This is not allowed in SAP, as each status in a status profile must have a unique priority to ensure proper processing and workflow.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises from the following scenarios:
  
  Duplicate Status Priorities: Two or more statuses in the same status profile have been assigned the same priority value.
  Configuration Errors: During the configuration of the status profile, the user may have inadvertently assigned the same priority to different statuses.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that all statuses in the status profile have unique priority values. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Status Profile Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction code in SAP (e.g., SPRO for configuration).
  Navigate to the area where the status profiles are defined (this may vary based on your specific SAP module).
  
  
  
  Review the Status Profile:
  
  Locate the status profile that is causing the error.
  Check the list of statuses and their assigned priorities.
  
  
  
  Identify Duplicates:
  
  Look for any statuses that share the same priority value.
  Make a note of the statuses that are conflicting.
  
  
  
  Modify Priorities:
  
  Change the priority of one or more of the conflicting statuses to ensure that each status has a unique priority.
  Save your changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the changes, test the status profile to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation or your organization's SAP guidelines for more detailed information on configuring status profiles.
