• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCMG_CASE201 - Status "Voided" is invalid next status of &2 in profile &1 ?

  The SAP error message SCMG_CASE201 indicates that there is an issue with the status transition of a case in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. Specifically, it states that the status "Voided" is not a valid next status for the current status of the case, as defined in the status profile.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Status Transition: The error typically arises when the system attempts to change the status of a case to "Voided," but the current status of the case does not allow for this transition according to the defined status profile.
  Configuration Issues: The status profile may not be correctly configured to allow the transition from the current status to "Voided."
  Business Logic: There may be business rules or logic that prevent certain status transitions based on the current state of the case.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Status Profile Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for the status profile in SAP.
  Verify the allowed status transitions for the current status of the case. Ensure that "Voided" is a valid next status.
  If necessary, modify the status profile to include the transition to "Voided."
  
  
  
  Review Current Status:
  
  Check the current status of the case that is generating the error.
  Determine if the case is in a state that logically allows for it to be voided. If not, you may need to change the status to an intermediate state that allows for the transition.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to status management in SCM to understand the implications of status transitions.
  
  
  
  Business Process Review:
  
  Engage with business stakeholders to ensure that the status transitions align with business processes and requirements. If "Voided" is not a valid status for certain cases, consider updating the process or the status profile accordingly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the status profile or business processes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the status transitions work as expected without generating errors.
