You cannot set item to status '&1' because it has status '&2'

What causes this issue?

Status 'V1&' cannot be set because item &V3& has overall processing
status '&V2&'. Only completed items (that is, items with overall
processing status "completed" or "not relevant") can be given status '
&V1&'.

System Response

The system does not set status '&V1&'.

How to fix this error?

Complete the logistics process (delivery, billing document) linked to
this item. This will give the item the entire processing status
"completed".
You can also give the item a "completed" status by entering a reason
for rejection.
