On transitioning status to custom status we get an error we receive when trying to change status to a custom value i.e. from 1000 to 1400:

"soapenv:Server.generalException

Exception occurred in assingPendingAction: Exception=Invalid combination of pending action type and request item status.

com.ca.usm.soap.axisInterfaces.WebServiceException"

Exception with Invalid combination of pending action type and request item status

CA Service Catalog 14.1Web Services

To correct this error message update the below value in the web method call i.e. 

<pendingActionType xsi:type="xsd:int">1</pendingActionType> 

to 

<pendingActionType xsi:type="xsd:int">2</pendingActionType>

sample web method input below:
