• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KQ145 - Status no. of status TECO must be higher than that of status FNBL ?

  The SAP error message KQ145 indicates that there is an issue with the status sequence of a production order or a project. Specifically, it states that the status "TECO" (Technically Completed) must have a higher status than "FNBL" (Final Billing). This error typically arises in the context of production orders, project systems, or internal orders where certain statuses are expected to follow a specific sequence.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the system detects that the status of the order or project is not in the correct sequence. In this case, the order has been set to "FNBL" (indicating that final billing has been done), but it has not yet been set to "TECO" (indicating that the order is technically complete). The system enforces this sequence to ensure that the order is processed correctly and that all necessary steps are completed before marking it as technically complete.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the status sequence is correct. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check Current Status: Review the current status of the order or project in question. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., CO03 for production orders, CJ20N for project systems).
  
  
  Change Status: If the order is currently set to "FNBL", you may need to change it back to a previous status (if applicable) or ensure that it is set to "TECO" before it can be marked as "FNBL". This may involve:
  
  Reversing the final billing if it is not appropriate to have it in that status yet.
  Setting the order to "TECO" if all necessary work has been completed.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review any internal documentation or guidelines regarding the status management of orders or projects in your organization. There may be specific procedures to follow.
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that all dependencies and prerequisites for setting the status to "TECO" are met. This may include confirming that all necessary confirmations, goods movements, and other related processes have been completed.
  
  
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or a consultant who can provide further assistance.
