• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CJ191 - Activity & Network &: Release not allowed ?

  The SAP error message CJ191 ("Activity & Network &: Release not allowed") typically occurs in the context of project management within SAP, particularly when dealing with project structures, activities, and networks in Project System (PS) module. This error indicates that there is an issue with the release status of the project or the specific activity/network you are trying to work with.
  Causes:
  
  Project/Network Status: The project or network might not be released. In SAP, projects and networks must be in a released status to allow certain actions, such as assigning costs or confirming activities.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to release the project or network.
  Project Type Restrictions: Certain project types may have restrictions on releasing activities or networks.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies or prerequisites that have not been met, preventing the release of the activity or network.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Project/Network Status:
  
  Navigate to the project or network in question and check its status. Ensure that it is set to "Released." You can do this using transaction codes like CJ20N (Project Builder) or CN21 (Create Network).
  If it is not released, you can release it using the appropriate transaction (e.g., CJ02 for changing the project).
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to release the project or network. This may involve checking roles and authorizations in the user profile.
  
  
  
  Release the Project/Network:
  
  If the project or network is not released, you can release it by using the transaction code CJ02 (Change Project) or CN22 (Change Network) and selecting the release option.

  Review any dependencies or prerequisites that may need to be fulfilled before the release can occur. This may include ensuring that all required activities are completed or that there are no outstanding issues.
