• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PLM_AUDIT_STATUS005 - Status &1 is not allowed ?

  The SAP error message PLM_AUDIT_STATUS005 with the description "Status &1 is not allowed" typically occurs in the context of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) when there is an attempt to change the status of an audit or a related object to a status that is not permitted by the system configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Status Transition: The status you are trying to set is not valid for the current state of the object. Each status in SAP PLM has defined transitions, and moving to an invalid status will trigger this error.
  Configuration Issues: The status management configuration in the system may not allow the transition you are attempting. This could be due to missing or incorrect settings in the status profile.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to change the status to the desired value.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Status Configuration:
  
  Review the status profile associated with the object you are working on. Ensure that the status you are trying to set is valid for the current status of the object.
  You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration settings in the SAP system (transaction codes like SPRO for configuration).
  
  
  
  Review Status Transition Rules:
  
  Check the defined status transitions for the object type. Ensure that the transition from the current status to the desired status is allowed.
  You may need to consult with your SAP PLM administrator or functional consultant to understand the allowed transitions.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user attempting to change the status has the necessary authorizations. This can be checked in the user roles and profiles assigned to the user.
  If necessary, request additional authorizations from your SAP security team.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on status management in PLM. This can provide insights into how statuses are managed and what configurations might be necessary.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  If changes are made to the configuration or user roles, test the status change again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
