• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WER365 - Process status &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message:
  WER365 Process status &1 does not exist
  typically occurs in the context of workflow or status management within SAP. Here's a detailed explanation of the cause, solution, and related information:
  
  Cause
  
  The error indicates that the system is trying to reference a process status (workflow status or object status) identified by the placeholder &1 (which will be replaced by the actual status ID in the runtime message), but this status does not exist in the system.
  This usually happens when:
  
  The status has not been defined or created in the relevant status profile.
  The status ID is incorrect or misspelled in the configuration or custom code.
  The status profile is not assigned or activated for the object or process.
  There is a mismatch between the status profile and the object type or workflow.
  
  
  
  
  Where it occurs
  
  In SAP Business Workflow when a workflow tries to set or check a process status that is not defined.
  In status management for business objects (e.g., sales orders, production orders, service orders) where object statuses are used.
  During custom developments or enhancements where statuses are referenced programmatically.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Status Profile:
  
  Go to transaction BS22 (Display Status Profile) or BS23 (Change Status Profile).
  Verify that the status ID mentioned in the error message exists in the status profile assigned to the object or workflow.
  If it does not exist, create the missing status or correct the status ID.
  
  
  
  Verify Status Assignment:
  
  Ensure the status profile is correctly assigned to the relevant object type or workflow container.
  For workflows, check the workflow container and the status management configuration.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code or Configuration:
  
  If the status is referenced in custom code (e.g., function modules, user exits, BAdIs), verify that the status ID is correct.
  Correct any typos or incorrect status IDs.
  
  
  
  Activate and Transport Status Profiles:
  
  After changes, activate the status profile.
  Make sure the changes are transported properly to the system where the error occurs.
  
  
  
  Check for SAP Notes:
  
  Sometimes, this error can be related to known issues fixed by SAP patches or notes.
  Search the SAP Support Portal for notes related to WER365 or process status errors.
