  The SAP error message CJ305 ("You have not selected another object") typically occurs in the context of project management within SAP, particularly when working with project structures, such as WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) elements or networks. This error indicates that the system expects you to select a different object (like a WBS element or a network) for the operation you are trying to perform, but you have not done so.
  Cause:
  
  No Object Selected: The most common cause is that the user has not selected a WBS element or network before attempting to execute a function that requires one.
  Incorrect Navigation: The user may have navigated to a screen or function that requires a specific object to be selected, but they have not done so.
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or select the required objects.
  
  Solution:
  
  Select the Required Object: Ensure that you have selected the appropriate WBS element or network before executing the function. You can do this by navigating to the relevant screen and making a selection from the list of available objects.
  Check Navigation Path: Make sure you are in the correct transaction or screen that allows you to select the required object. If you are unsure, refer to the SAP documentation or consult with a colleague.
  Review Authorizations: If you believe you should have access to the required objects, check with your SAP security team to ensure that your user role has the necessary authorizations.
  Use the Correct Transaction: Ensure you are using the correct transaction code that corresponds to the action you are trying to perform. For example, if you are trying to create or modify a project, ensure you are in the correct project management transaction.
  
  Related Information:
