• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WB2B2345 - Default status for incomplete TCs must be specified in status group ?

  The SAP error message WB2B2345 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of status groups in the SAP system, specifically related to incomplete transport requests (TCs). This error typically arises when the system expects a default status to be defined for transport requests that are not fully completed.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system requires a default status for incomplete transport requests to be specified in the status group configuration. If this default status is not set, the system cannot process transport requests correctly, leading to the error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to specify a default status for incomplete transport requests in the relevant status group. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Transport Management System (TMS):
  
  Go to transaction code STMS in the SAP GUI.
  
  
  
  Navigate to the Transport Routes:
  
  In the TMS screen, select the "Transport Routes" option.
  
  
  
  Access the Status Group Configuration:
  
  You may need to go to the configuration settings for transport requests. This can typically be done through transaction code SE03 (Transport Organizer Tools) or SE09 (Workbench Organizer).
  
  
  
  Define the Default Status:
  
  Look for the option to configure status groups. You will need to find the status group that is relevant to your transport requests.
  In the configuration, specify a default status for incomplete transport requests. This could be a status like "In Process" or any other status that fits your workflow.
  
  
  
  Save the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save your configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  Try to create or process a transport request again to see if the error persists.
