SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CJ - Project master data and structure

• Message number: 463

• Message text: Select required WBS elements

What causes this issue?

There are assignments of WBS elements to a standard WBS element in the
standard network which you want to copy from to create a new network.
The new network will have the same assignments as the existing
assignments. In this case, these WBS elements must be in a project
which was copied from a standard WBS.
When you enter the appropriate project, the system automatically
determines the assignments.
The WBS elements to be assigned and all superior WBS elements in the
hierarchy are mandatory:
Therefore, the project can only be copied when:
in the case of an already existing project, the mandatory WBS elements
are already included or the missing WBS elements can be copied using
the include function,
in the case of a project you are about to create, the mandatory WBS
elements can be copied in using the include function.
