• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CJ583 - The subordinate WBS elements of WBS elem. & are not all finally confirmed ?

  The SAP error message CJ583 indicates that there are subordinate Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) elements that have not been finally confirmed. This typically occurs in the context of project management within SAP, particularly when dealing with project budgeting, planning, and execution.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to perform an action (such as settlement or closing) on a WBS element that has subordinate WBS elements which have not been fully confirmed. This means that there are still open transactions or unprocessed costs associated with those subordinate elements. 
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Subordinate WBS Elements: 
  
  Navigate to the WBS element in question and review its subordinate elements. You can do this using transaction codes like CJ20N (Project Builder) or CJ03 (Display WBS Element).
  
  
  
  Confirm Open Transactions:
  
  Ensure that all transactions related to the subordinate WBS elements are confirmed. This may involve confirming actual costs, work, or any other relevant transactions.
  You can use transaction codes like CJI3 (Actual Line Items) to check for any unconfirmed transactions.
  
  
  
  Review Status:
  
  Check the status of the subordinate WBS elements. They should be in a status that allows for final confirmation. If they are still in a planning or open status, you may need to change their status.
  
  
  
  Perform Final Confirmation:
  
  If there are any unconfirmed activities or costs, perform the necessary confirmations. This may involve confirming work done or costs incurred against those subordinate WBS elements.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt the Action:
  
  Once all subordinate WBS elements are confirmed, re-attempt the action that triggered the error message.

  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to project management and WBS elements for more detailed guidance on managing confirmations and statuses.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to confirm transactions and change statuses in the system.
