• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR644 - System status & does not exist ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VR644 - System status & does not exist
  
  Cause:
  The error message VR644 occurs when the system tries to access or assign a system status that does not exist in the current context. This typically happens during processing of sales documents, deliveries, or other business transactions where system statuses are used to control the processing stages.
  Common causes include:
  
  The system status being referenced is not defined in the system.
  The system status is not assigned to the relevant document type or transaction.
  Customizing or configuration inconsistencies where the system status is missing or incorrectly maintained.
  A program or user exit is trying to set or check a system status that is invalid or not available for the current object.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the system status definition:
  
  Use transaction BS22 (Display System Status) to verify if the system status mentioned in the error message exists.
  If it does not exist, you may need to create or correct the system status.
  
  
  
  Verify assignment of system status:
  
  Check the customizing for the relevant application (e.g., sales and distribution, logistics execution) to ensure the system status is assigned to the document type or process.
  For example, in SD, check the status profile assignment in transaction SPRO under Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Status Management.
  
  
  
  Check user exits or custom code:
  
  If the error occurs during a custom enhancement or user exit, review the code to ensure it references valid system statuses.
  Correct any hard-coded or incorrectly passed system status values.
  
  
  
  Transport and system consistency:
  
  If the system status was recently created or changed, ensure that transports have been imported correctly into the system where the error occurs.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the cause is not obvious, debug the process to see where the system status is being called and why it is missing.
