• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CJ144 - You do not have authorization to edit all activities for WBS element & ?

  The SAP error message CJ144 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to edit all activities for a specific Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) element. This is a common issue in SAP Project System (PS) when users attempt to make changes to project-related data without the appropriate permissions.
  Cause:
  The error is typically caused by one or more of the following reasons:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization objects to edit the activities associated with the WBS element. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  WBS Element Status: The WBS element may be in a status that restricts changes, such as "locked" or "completed."
  Project Settings: The project settings may restrict certain users from making changes to specific WBS elements or activities.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CJ144 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions for the WBS element.
  
  
  
  Adjust Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, work with your SAP security team to update the user's roles or create new roles that include the necessary authorization objects, such as:
  
  C_PROJ (Project Management)
  C_PROJ_ACT (Activity Management)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate activity authorizations for the WBS element.
  
  
  
  Check WBS Element Status:
  
  Verify the status of the WBS element using transaction CJ03 (Display WBS) or CJ02 (Change WBS). If the WBS is locked or completed, you may need to unlock it or change its status to allow edits.
  
  
  
  Consult Project Settings:
  
  Review the project settings to ensure that there are no restrictions on editing activities for the specific WBS element. This may involve checking the project profile or settings in transaction CJ20N.
