• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB432 - Default status and status group have to be maintained together ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W_CB432: Default status and status group have to be maintained together
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you are trying to maintain or configure statuses in SAP (usually in the context of status management for objects like equipment, notifications, orders, etc.), and the system detects that either the default status or the status group is missing or not maintained properly.
  In SAP, statuses are grouped into status groups, and for each status group, a default status must be defined. The system requires that both the default status and the status group be maintained together to ensure consistent status management.
  If you try to maintain a status group without assigning a default status, or vice versa, this warning will appear.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  While customizing status profiles in transaction codes like BS02 (Change Status Profile) or BS03 (Display Status Profile).
  When defining or changing status groups and their default statuses in configuration.
  During the creation or modification of user statuses or system statuses for objects like equipment, notifications, or orders.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain both Default Status and Status Group together:
  
  Go to the relevant customizing transaction (e.g., BS02).
  Ensure that for each status group you define, a default status is assigned.
  Conversely, if you assign a default status, make sure it belongs to a status group.
  
  
  
  Check Status Group Configuration:
  
  Use transaction BS02 or BS03 to review the status groups.
  Verify that the default status is correctly assigned to the status group.
  If missing, assign a default status to the status group.
  
  
  
  Save the configuration after maintaining both:
  
  After ensuring both are maintained, save the entries.
  The warning message should no longer appear.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Status Group: A collection of statuses that are logically grouped for an object.
  Default Status: The status that is automatically assigned when an object is created or when the status group is activated.
  This message is a warning (W_), so it may not stop the process but indicates a configuration inconsistency that should be corrected.
  Proper maintenance of status groups and default statuses is crucial for correct status management and workflow control in SAP.
