  The SAP error message CJ194, which states "You cannot copy an activity milestone to a WBS element," typically occurs when there is an attempt to copy an activity milestone to a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) element in the Project System (PS) module. This error arises due to the inherent differences in the nature of activities and milestones in project management.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Nature of Milestones: Milestones are specific points in time that signify important events or phases in a project, while WBS elements represent the hierarchical structure of the project and its deliverables.
