• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KQ147 - Only statuses PREL, REL, DLV, and TECO are allowed for WIP ?

  The SAP error message KQ147 indicates that there is an issue with the status of a Work in Progress (WIP) item in the system. Specifically, this error occurs when an attempt is made to process a WIP item that is not in one of the allowed statuses: PREL (Preliminary), REL (Released), DLV (Delivered), or TECO (Technically Completed).
  Cause:
  The error is typically caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Incorrect Status: The WIP item is in a status that is not permitted for the operation you are trying to perform. For example, if the WIP item is in a status like "Blocked" or "Closed," it will trigger this error.
  Data Entry Error: There may have been a mistake in data entry or processing that led to the WIP item being assigned an incorrect status.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured in a way that restricts certain statuses for WIP processing.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the KQ147 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Status of the WIP Item:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction in SAP (e.g., CO03 for production orders) and check the status of the WIP item.
  Ensure that the status is one of the allowed statuses: PREL, REL, DLV, or TECO.
  
  
  
  Change the Status:
  
  If the WIP item is in an incorrect status, you may need to change it to one of the allowed statuses. This can typically be done through the appropriate transaction (e.g., using CO02 to change the status of a production order).
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If you believe the status should be allowed but is not, review the configuration settings in the system. This may require assistance from a system administrator or SAP consultant.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
