• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CJ104 - User status & is not active ?

  The SAP error message CJ104 ("User status & is not active") typically occurs in the context of project management within SAP, particularly when dealing with project definitions, work breakdown structures (WBS), or network activities. This error indicates that the user status assigned to a project or WBS element is not active, which prevents certain actions from being performed.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive User Status: The user status assigned to the project or WBS element is set to inactive. This can happen if the project has been closed or if certain restrictions have been applied to the project.
  Status Configuration: The user status might be configured in such a way that it restricts further processing or changes.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to change the status or perform actions on the project.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Status: 
  
  Go to the project or WBS element in question and check the assigned user status. You can do this by navigating to the project in the Project System (PS) module and reviewing the status settings.
  
  
  
  Change User Status:
  
  If the user status is indeed inactive, you may need to change it to an active status. This can typically be done through the transaction code CJ20N (Project Builder) or CJ02 (Change Project).
  Use the "Status Management" option to change the user status to an active one.
  
  
  
  Review Status Profiles:
  
  Check the status profile assigned to the project. You can do this by navigating to the configuration settings in the SAP system. Ensure that the status profile allows for the desired actions.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to change the status or perform actions on the project. This may involve checking roles and authorizations in the user profile.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the status settings or how to change them, consult the SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP administrator for guidance.
