  Error Message
  WRB028: Item status &1 does not exist
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to assign or reference an item status that is not defined or does not exist in the system. In SAP, item statuses are used to control the processing and behavior of document items (e.g., in sales orders, deliveries, billing documents). If a program or configuration attempts to set an item status that has not been created or maintained in the system, this error is triggered.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Custom developments or user exits trying to set an invalid item status.
  Incorrect or missing configuration in the status profile.
  Data inconsistencies where the status code referenced is not available in the status table.
  Transport or system copy issues where status definitions were not properly moved.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Item Status Code:
  
  Identify the item status code referenced in the error message (the placeholder &1 will be replaced by the actual status code).
  Verify if this status code exists in the system.
  
  
  
  Verify Status Profile Configuration:
  
  Use transaction BS02 (Change Status Profile) or BS03 (Display Status Profile) to check the status profile assigned to the document/item.
  Confirm that the item status code is maintained in the relevant status profile.
  
  
  
  Maintain Missing Item Status:
  
  If the item status does not exist, create it using transaction BS02 or BS22 (for object statuses).
  Ensure the status is properly configured and assigned to the relevant status profile.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code or User Exits:
  
  If the error occurs during a custom process, review the code to ensure it references valid item statuses.
  Correct any hard-coded or incorrectly passed status codes.
  
  
  
  Transport and System Consistency:
  
  If the issue appeared after a transport or system copy, verify that all status profiles and statuses were transported correctly.
  Re-transport or manually maintain missing statuses if necessary.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the cause is unclear, debug the process where the error occurs to see which status code is being called and why it is missing.
