Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_PROCESS066 - Status not found ?

  The SAP error message WGDS_PROCESS066: Status not found typically occurs in the context of SAP Workflow or Document Management System (DMS) processes, especially when dealing with change documents, status management, or workflow steps.
  
  Cause
  
  The error "Status not found" indicates that the system is trying to access or update a status that does not exist or is not defined in the status profile for the object or process.
  This can happen if:
  
  The status profile assigned to the object (e.g., a document, change request, or workflow container object) does not contain the status the system expects.
  The status has been deleted or not properly maintained in the status profile.
  There is a mismatch between the status expected by the workflow or process and the actual status maintained in the system.
  Custom code or user exits are trying to set or check a status that is invalid or missing.
  
  
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Status Profile:
  
  Go to transaction BS22 (Status Profile Maintenance).
  Verify the status profile assigned to the object or document type.
  Ensure that the status the system is trying to access or set exists in the profile.
  
  
  
  Verify Status Assignment:
  
  Check the object or document's current status.
  Confirm that the status is valid and active in the status profile.
  
  
  
  Review Workflow or Process Configuration:
  
  If this error occurs during a workflow step, check the workflow container and the status values being passed.
  Make sure the workflow is not trying to set or check a status that is not defined.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code/User Exits:
  
  If custom enhancements or user exits are involved, review the code to ensure that status values are correctly handled.
  Validate that no hardcoded or incorrect status values are used.
  
  
  
  Reassign or Correct Status Profile:
  
  If the status profile is incorrect or incomplete, update it to include the required statuses.
  Reassign the correct status profile to the object/document if necessary.
