  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS_CWB052 - Status &1 is not assigned to internal status "Logically Deleted" ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WS_CWB052 Status &1 is not assigned to internal status "Logically Deleted"


    Cause:

    This error occurs when a status that is not assigned or allowed for the internal status "Logically Deleted" is being used or processed in a workflow or status management scenario. In SAP, statuses are managed with internal statuses (like "Logically Deleted") and external statuses (custom or standard statuses). Each internal status has a set of allowed external statuses assigned to it.

    If a status code (represented by &1 in the message) is not assigned to the internal status "Logically Deleted" in the status profile or configuration, and the system tries to set or process this status, the error WS_CWB052 is triggered.


    Where it typically occurs:

    • In Business Workflow (WS = Workflow System)
    • When changing or processing object statuses in status management (e.g., in CRM, PM, or other modules using status profiles)
    • During logical deletion or status changes of business objects

    Solution:

    1. Check Status Profile Configuration:

      • Go to the status profile assigned to the object type.
      • Use transaction BS02 (Change Status Profile) or BS03 (Display Status Profile).
      • Find the internal status "Logically Deleted" (usually internal status code is fixed).
      • Verify which external statuses are assigned to this internal status.
      • If the status &1 (the status code from the error message) is missing, assign it to the internal status "Logically Deleted".
    2. Adjust Status Assignment:

      • Add the missing status to the internal status "Logically Deleted" in the status profile.
      • Save and activate the status profile.
    3. Check Workflow or Program Logic:

      • If the status &1 should not be assigned to "Logically Deleted", check the workflow or program logic that triggers this status change.
      • Correct the logic to assign a valid status for the internal status "Logically Deleted".
    4. Transport Changes:

      • If changes are made in a development system, ensure they are transported to quality and production systems.

    Additional Information:

    • Internal Statuses are system-defined and represent the logical state of an object (e.g., Created, Released, Logically Deleted).
    • External Statuses are user-defined and mapped to internal statuses.
    • The error message is part of the Workflow System (WS) and status management.
    • Logical deletion means the object is flagged as deleted but not physically removed from the database.
    • Proper status assignment ensures consistent business process handling and prevents invalid status transitions.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Error WS_CWB052 Status &1 is not assigned to internal status "Logically Deleted"
    Cause Status &1 is not assigned to the internal status "Logically Deleted" in the status profile
    Solution Assign the missing status to the internal status "Logically Deleted" in the status profile (BS02)
