  SAP Error Message:
  WA129: Business object type &1 has status &2. Linkage not possible.
  
  Meaning / 
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to create a link (relationship) between business objects in SAP, but the target business object is in a status that does not allow such linkage. The system checks the status of the business object before allowing the link, and if the status is not appropriate (e.g., the object is locked, deleted, or in a status that forbids linking), it raises this error.
  
  &1 = Business object type (e.g., BUS2032 for Purchase Order)
  &2 = Status of the business object (e.g., Locked, Deleted, Closed)
  
  Typical causes:
  
  The business object is in a status that prevents linking (e.g., the object is locked, deleted, or archived).
  The business object is not active or is in a status that logically forbids creating new links.
