- You cannot shift WBS element & into its own sub-hierarchy ?The SAP error message CJ401 ("You cannot shift WBS element & into its own sub-hierarchy") typically occurs when you attempt to move a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) element into a position within its own hierarchy, which is not allowed. This is a logical restriction in SAP to prevent circular references and maintain the integrity of the project structure.
Cause: The error arises when: You are trying to move a WBS element to a new parent that is a descendant of the WBS element itself. The system detects that the move would create a loop in the hierarchy, which is not permissible.
Solution: To resolve this error, you should: Check the Hierarchy: Review the current hierarchy of the WBS elements involved. Ensure that the parent you are trying to move the WBS element to is not a descendant of the WBS element itself. Select a Different Parent: If you need to move the WBS element, choose a different parent
