• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CJ274 - Cannot create asset under construction for a simulation WBS ?

  The SAP error message CJ274 indicates that the system cannot create an asset under construction for a simulation Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) element. This error typically arises in the context of project management and asset accounting within SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation WBS: The WBS element in question is marked as a simulation WBS. Simulation WBS elements are used for planning purposes and do not allow for actual postings or the creation of assets.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured in such a way that it does not permit the creation of assets for certain types of WBS elements.
  Missing Authorizations: The user may lack the necessary authorizations to create assets under construction.
  Project Status: The project or WBS element may be in a status that does not allow for asset creation.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use a Non-Simulation WBS: If you need to create an asset under construction, ensure that you are using a standard (non-simulation) WBS element. You may need to create a new WBS element that is not marked as a simulation.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the project system (PS) and asset accounting (AA) modules to ensure that the settings allow for asset creation under the desired conditions.
  Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to create assets. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  Project Status Review: Ensure that the project and WBS element are in a status that allows for asset creation. If the project is in a locked or completed status, you may need to change it to allow for further postings.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like CJ20N (Project Builder) to manage WBS elements and check their properties.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for detailed information on WBS elements, asset under construction, and project management processes.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling simulation WBS elements.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in project systems and asset accounting.
