  The SAP error message CJ178 ("Not all activities are displayed") typically occurs in the context of project management within SAP, particularly when dealing with project structures and activities in the Project System (PS) module. This message indicates that not all activities related to a project or work breakdown structure (WBS) element are being displayed in the system.
  Causes:

  Project Structure: The project structure may not be fully defined, or there may be missing links between WBS elements and activities.
