How To Fix CJ022 - There are active simulations for the project

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CJ - Project master data and structure

• Message number: 022

• Message text: There are active simulations for the project

What causes this issue?

You want to change an operative project. There are active simulations
for this project already. Changing the operative project does not
affect the simualation versions. However, if you transfer a simulation
version to the operative version, the changes could be overwritten.

System Response

The system lets you change the operative project.

How to fix this error?

If you want to change the operative project, you should change a
simulation version and then transfer this version to the operative
project.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CJ022 - There are active simulations for the project ?

  The SAP error message CJ022 ("There are active simulations for the project") typically occurs in the context of project management within SAP, particularly when dealing with project structures and simulations in the Project System (PS) module. This error indicates that there are active simulations associated with the project you are trying to work on, which prevents certain actions from being completed.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  There are ongoing simulations for the project, which means that the system is currently processing or has not yet finalized a simulation scenario.
  You may be trying to perform an action (like changing the project status, deleting a project, or posting costs) that is not allowed while simulations are active.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CJ022 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Active Simulations:
  
  Navigate to the project in question and check if there are any active simulations. You can do this by going to the project structure and looking for any simulation entries.
  
  
  
  Finalize or Delete Simulations:
  
  If you find active simulations, you can either finalize them or delete them if they are no longer needed. This can usually be done through the transaction codes related to project simulations (e.g., CJ20N for project management).
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction code CJ20N to access the project and check for simulations.
  You can also use CJ02 to change the project and see if there are any simulation-related options available.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about how to handle simulations, refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to Project System simulations.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking for active simulations and you are unable to resolve it, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Project System (PS): This module in SAP is used for managing projects, including planning, execution, and monitoring.
  Simulations: In SAP PS, simulations allow users to model different scenarios for project costs, revenues, and other parameters without affecting the actual project data.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CJ20N (Project Builder), CJ02 (Change Project), and CJ03 (Display Project) for managing projects effectively.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CJ022 error and proceed with your project management tasks in SAP.
