• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PK201 - The status sequence &1 defined in the control cycle no longer exists ?

  The SAP error message PK201 indicates that there is an issue with the status sequence defined in a control cycle. This error typically arises when the system is trying to process a control cycle that references a status sequence that has been deleted or is no longer valid.
  
  Cause:
  
  Deleted Status Sequence: The status sequence that was previously defined in the control cycle has been deleted or modified.
  Incorrect Configuration: The control cycle may have been configured incorrectly, leading to a reference to a non-existent status sequence.
  Transport Issues: If the status sequence was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), it may not have been included in the transport request.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Status Sequence: Verify if the status sequence referenced in the control cycle exists. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration settings in SAP.
  
  Use transaction code PK01 to check the control cycle and see the status sequence
