• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_SAS_MSG014 - No end status exists in this schema ?

  The SAP error message MPE_SAS_MSG014: No end status exists in this schema typically occurs in the context of SAP's Master Data Governance (MDG) or similar applications where a status schema is used to manage the lifecycle of business objects. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a defined "end status" for the specified status schema, which is necessary for the process to complete successfully.
  Cause:
  
  Missing End Status: The status schema defined for the business object does not have an end status defined. An end status is crucial as it signifies the completion of a process or workflow.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the status management settings, where the end status is either not set or incorrectly defined.
  Data Integrity Issues: The data being processed may not conform to the expected status schema, leading to the absence of a valid end status.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Status Schema Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the status schema in the relevant SAP transaction (e.g., SPRO).
  Verify that an end status is defined for the schema in question. If it is missing, you will need to add it.
  
  
  
  Define End Status:
  
  If the end status is not defined, create a new status that will serve as the end status. Ensure that it is properly linked to the workflow or process.
  
  
  
  Review Workflow Settings:
  
  If the error occurs during a workflow, check the workflow configuration to ensure that it correctly references the status schema and that all statuses are properly defined.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
