• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPESTATUS002 - Object-specific statuses should also be created for the new status ?

  The SAP error message PPESTATUS002 indicates that when you are trying to change the status of a production order or a related object, the system requires that object-specific statuses be created for the new status you are trying to set. This is typically encountered in the context of Production Planning and Execution (PPE) within SAP.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the new status you are attempting to assign to the object (like a production order) does not have corresponding object-specific statuses defined in the system. SAP uses these object-specific statuses to manage the lifecycle of production orders, and if they are not defined for the new status, the system will not allow the change.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the object-specific statuses are defined for the new status you are trying to set. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check Status Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for status management in SAP. This is usually found in the IMG (Implementation Guide) under:
  Production -> Production Orders -> Status Management -> Define Status Profiles
  
  Review the status profiles and ensure that the new status you want to use has the necessary object-specific statuses defined.
  
  
  
  Define Object-Specific Statuses:
  
  If the object-specific statuses are not defined, you will need to create them. This involves:
  
  Identifying the new status you want to assign.
  Creating the necessary object-specific statuses that correspond to this new status.
  
  
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the status change again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the specific statuses required, consult the SAP documentation or your organization's SAP functional consultant for guidance on the appropriate statuses for your business processes.
  
  
  
  User Authorization:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to status profiles and configurations in SAP.
