  The SAP error message /SCDL/UI_CONTROLLER043 with the description "Status type &1 is not persistent on header level" typically occurs in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) or SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when dealing with status management in planning or execution processes.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that the system is trying to access or manipulate a status type that is not defined as persistent at the header level of a document or object. In SAP, status types can be defined as either persistent or non-persistent. Persistent status types are those that are saved and maintained at the header level, while non-persistent status types are usually temporary or only relevant at a lower level (like item level).
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Status Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for status management in your SAP system. This can usually be found in the customizing transaction (SPRO).
  Navigate to the relevant area where status types are defined and check if the status type in question (&1) is set as persistent at the header level.
  
  
  
  Modify Status Type:
  
  If the status type is not set as persistent and you need it to be, you may need to modify its configuration to make it persistent at the header level. This may involve changing settings in the status profile or the status management configuration.
  
  
  
  Review Business Logic:
  
  Ensure that the business logic or process flow that is trying to set or read the status is appropriate. Sometimes, the error can arise from incorrect assumptions in the process design.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to status management in your specific version of SAP SCM or APO. There may be specific guidelines or known issues related to the status type you are working with.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the error is resolved and that the status behaves as expected in the relevant processes.
