• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABP_MESSAGES105 - Can only reverse successive contract statuses ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABP_MESSAGES105: Can only reverse successive contract statuses typically occurs in the context of contract management or project management within SAP. This error indicates that there is an issue with the sequence of status changes for a contract or project. Specifically, it means that the system is trying to reverse a status change that is not the most recent one, or that the status changes are not in a valid sequence.
  Cause:
  
  
  Non-sequential Status Changes: The error arises when an attempt is made to reverse a contract status that is not the immediate predecessor of the current status. For example, if a contract status was changed from A to B, and then to C, you cannot directly reverse from C to A; you must first go back to B.
  
  
  Incorrect Workflow: The workflow or process followed may not adhere to the defined rules for status changes, leading to attempts to reverse statuses in an invalid order.
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data or status history that prevent the system from recognizing valid transitions.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Status History: Review the status history of the contract or project to understand the sequence of status changes. Ensure that you are attempting to reverse to the correct previous status.
  
  
  Follow Correct Sequence: If you need to reverse a status, ensure that you first revert to the most recent status before the one you want to go back to. For example, if you are at status C and want to go back to A, first revert to B.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or configuration settings related to contract status management to understand the allowed transitions and workflows.
  
  
  System Configuration: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to check the system configuration or consult with your SAP administrator to ensure that the status management settings are correctly defined.
  
  
  Error Logs: Check the error logs for any additional information that might provide context for the error.
  
  
  User Training: Ensure that users involved in contract management are trained on the correct procedures for changing and reversing statuses to avoid such errors in the future.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to contract management (e.g., ME31K for creating contracts, ME32K for changing contracts) to navigate the system effectively.
  Support: If the issue cannot be resolved internally, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
