  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WAB034 Change of application status for document type &1 &2 not supported
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to change the application status of a document, but the system does not support changing the status for the specified document type and application status combination.
  
  &1 = Document Type (e.g., QMEL, BUS2001, etc.)  
  &2 = Application Status (e.g., REL, CRTD, etc.)
  
  In other words, the system is configured such that the application status change you are trying to perform is not allowed or not defined for the given document type.
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Changing status in Quality Management (QM) notifications or inspection lots where certain status transitions are restricted.
  Attempting to set or change a status that is not maintained in the status profile for the document type.
  Custom developments or user exits trying to set unsupported statuses.
  Missing or incorrect configuration in status profile or status determination.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check Status Profile Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction BS02 (Change Status Profile) or BS03 (Display Status Profile).
  Identify the status profile assigned to the document type.
  Verify if the application status (&2) is defined and allowed for the document type (&1).
  If missing, add the required status or adjust the status profile accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check Allowed Status Changes:
  
  In the status profile, check the allowed status transitions.
  Ensure that the status change you are trying to perform is permitted.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code / User Exits:
  
  If the status change is triggered by custom code, verify that the code is not trying to set an unsupported status.
  Adjust the code to use valid statuses.
  
  
  
  Check Document Type Configuration:
  
  Verify the document type settings in the relevant module (e.g., QM, PM, SD).
  Ensure that the document type supports the status you want to assign.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Sometimes, SAP releases notes or patches related to status handling.
  Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to message WAB034.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Application Status: Represents the business status of a document (e.g., Created, Released, Completed).
