• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CJ586 - Time profile & does not exist ?

  The SAP error message CJ586 indicates that a time profile specified in a project or related configuration does not exist in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of project management and controlling, particularly when dealing with project planning and scheduling.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Time Profile: The specified time profile has not been created or is not available in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The project or task may be referencing a time profile that has been incorrectly configured or deleted.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the time profile.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system, the time profiles may not have been transferred correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Time Profile Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OPR4 (or the relevant configuration transaction) to check if the time profile exists.
  If it does not exist, you will need to create a new time profile that meets your project requirements.
  
  
  
  Create a New Time Profile:
  
  If the time profile is missing, you can create it by navigating to the appropriate configuration path in SPRO:
  
  SPRO > Project System > Structures > Work Breakdown Structure > Define Time Profiles.
  
  
  Define the necessary parameters for the new time profile.
  
  
  
  Assign the Time Profile:
  
  Ensure that the newly created or existing time profile is correctly assigned to the relevant project or task.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the time profile. This can be done by checking the user roles and authorizations in transaction SU01.
  
  
  
  Review Project Settings:
  
  Check the project settings to ensure that the correct time profile is being referenced. This can be done in transaction CJ20N (Project Builder).
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the parameters or settings for the time profile, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or Project Management team.
