  • SAP Error Message:
    WS498 - Default application status does not allow any follow-on documents
    
    
    Cause: This error occurs when you try to create a follow-on document (such as a delivery, billing document, or invoice) from a preceding document (like a sales order or delivery), but the system finds that the current status of the original document does not permit the creation of any follow-on documents. In SAP, each document has an application status that controls what subsequent processing steps are allowed. If the status is set to a value that restricts follow-on documents, the system will prevent further processing and raise this error. Typical scenarios include: The sales order or delivery is blocked or has a status that disallows further processing. The document is technically complete or closed. The document is in a status that requires some prerequisite action before follow-on documents can be created. Custom status profiles or user statuses have been configured to restrict follow-on documents.
