- Default application status does not allow any follow-on documents ?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:
Check the Application Status of the Original Document:
Change or Remove the Restrictive Status:
BS22
(User Status Maintenance) or BS23
(Status Profile Maintenance) if you have authorization.Check Status Profile Configuration:
Check for Blocks or Holds:
