Specifically, it means that the input contains invalid characters, and only numerical or alphanumerical characters are allowed in the specified section.

  Check Input: Review the input in the relevant fields (such as project number, WBS element, etc.) and ensure that only valid characters are used. Remove any special characters or spaces.
  Field Length: Ensure that the input does not exceed the maximum length allowed for that field.
  Use Alphanumeric Characters: If the field is supposed to accept alphanumeric characters, ensure that the input adheres to this requirement.
  Review Configuration: If you have access to the configuration settings, check if there are any restrictions set for the project definitions or related fields that might be causing this issue.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for specific guidelines on the allowed formats for project-related fields.
