• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BE212 - Activity not allowed for statistical WBS element & ?

  The SAP error message BE212 ("Activity not allowed for statistical WBS element") typically occurs when you attempt to perform an operation on a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) element that is defined as a statistical WBS element. Statistical WBS elements are used for reporting and tracking purposes but do not allow for certain transactions, such as posting costs or assigning activities.
  Cause:
  
  Statistical WBS Element: The WBS element you are trying to work with is marked as statistical. This means it is not intended for actual cost tracking or activity assignment.
  Transaction Type: The operation you are trying to perform (e.g., assigning an activity, posting costs) is not permitted on statistical WBS elements.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check WBS Element Type: Verify if the WBS element is indeed a statistical one. You can do this by navigating to the WBS element in the SAP system and checking its properties.
  Use a Non-Statistical WBS Element: If you need to perform activities or post costs, you should use a non-statistical WBS element. You can create a new WBS element that is not marked as statistical.
  Change WBS Element Settings: If the WBS element should not be statistical, you may need to change its settings. This typically requires appropriate authorizations and should be done with caution, as it may affect reporting and project structure.
  Consult Documentation: Review your organization's project management guidelines to ensure you are using WBS elements correctly.
