  The SAP error message SEPA_EN002 ("Unallowed status must be different from the original status") typically occurs in the context of SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) payment processing. This error indicates that there is an issue with the status of a payment or transaction that is being processed, specifically that the status you are trying to set is not allowed because it is the same as the original status.
  Cause:
  
  Status Conflict: The error arises when an attempt is made to change the status of a payment or transaction to a value that is the same as its current status. For example, if a payment is already in a "Processed" status, trying to set it again to "Processed" will trigger this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SEPA payment processing that restrict certain status changes.
  Data Integrity: The data being processed may not meet the integrity checks required by the SEPA framework, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Current Status: Review the current status of the payment or transaction that is causing the error. Ensure that you are attempting to change it to a different status.
  Modify Status Change: If you are trying to change the status, ensure that the new status is indeed different from the current one. For example, if the current status is "Pending," you might change it to "Completed" or "Failed," but not to "Pending" again.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings related to SEPA payments in your SAP system. Ensure that the allowed status transitions are correctly defined.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on status management in SEPA transactions.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the transaction or reviewing logs to identify any underlying issues that may not be immediately apparent.
