  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR645 - User status & does not exist ?

    SAP Error Message:
    VR645 - User status & does not exist


    Cause:

    The error message VR645 occurs when the system tries to assign or reference a user status that does not exist in the current status profile for an object (such as a sales order, delivery, or billing document). In other words, the user status code you are trying to use is not defined or not valid in the status profile assigned to the document or object.

    User statuses in SAP are custom-defined statuses that allow additional control over business processes beyond the standard system statuses. They are maintained in status profiles and assigned to business objects.


    Explanation:

    • The system checks the user status against the status profile assigned to the object.
    • If the user status code is not found in the profile, the system throws the VR645 error.
    • This can happen if:
      • The user status was deleted or not created.
      • The wrong status profile is assigned.
      • The user status code is mistyped or incorrect in the program or configuration.
      • The status profile is not assigned to the object type or document type.

    Solution:

    1. Check the User Status Profile:

      • Go to transaction BS02 (Change Status Profile) or BS03 (Display Status Profile).
      • Enter the status profile assigned to the object.
      • Verify if the user status code mentioned in the error exists in the profile.
    2. Verify the Status Profile Assignment:

      • Check which status profile is assigned to the object/document type.
      • For example, in sales documents, check the assignment in transaction VOV8 (Sales Document Types) or relevant customizing.
      • Make sure the correct status profile is assigned.
    3. Create or Add the Missing User Status:

      • If the user status does not exist, create it in the status profile using BS02.
      • Define the user status with the appropriate attributes and assign it to the profile.
    4. Check Custom Code or User Exits:

      • If the error occurs during a custom program or user exit, check if the user status code is hardcoded or passed incorrectly.
      • Correct the code to use valid user status codes.
    5. Transport and Consistency:

      • If the status profile or user status was recently created or changed, ensure the changes are transported correctly to the system where the error occurs.
      • Check for inconsistencies in the customizing.

    Related Information:

    • User Status Profiles are used in various SAP modules like SD (Sales and Distribution), MM (Materials Management), and PP (Production Planning) to control document processing.
    • User statuses are maintained in transaction BS02.
    • Standard SAP system statuses are different from user statuses; user statuses provide additional flexibility.
    • For more details, refer to SAP Help or OSS notes related to user status and status profiles.
    • Commonly related transactions:
      • BS02 - Change Status Profile
      • BS03 - Display Status Profile
      • VOV8 - Sales Document Types (for status profile assignment)
