• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PK199 - Status sequence &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message PK199, which states "Status sequence &1 does not exist," typically occurs in the context of production planning or process order management. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a status sequence that is referenced in the configuration or process you are trying to execute.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The status sequence that is being referenced in the process order or production order does not exist in the system. This could be due to a configuration error or because the status sequence has not been defined in the system.
  Incorrect Status Sequence Assignment: The status sequence may not be correctly assigned to the relevant order type or production process.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was recently transported from another system (e.g., from a development to a production environment), the transport may not have included the necessary status sequence configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings in SAP (Transaction SPRO).
  Navigate to the relevant area for production planning or process orders.
  Check if the status sequence is defined under the appropriate settings (e.g., for order types).
  If it is missing, you may need to create a new status sequence or modify an existing one.
  
  
  
  Assign Status Sequence:
  
  Ensure that the status sequence is correctly assigned to the order type you are working with.
  You can do this in the configuration settings where you define order types and their associated parameters.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, verify that the transport included all necessary configuration objects.
  If not, you may need to re-transport the missing configuration or manually create it in the target system.
