• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CJ655 - Project definition & is not released ?

  The SAP error message CJ655 indicates that a project definition is not released. This typically occurs when you attempt to perform an action on a project that has not been released for use in the system. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, solution, and related information for this error:
  Cause:
  
  Project Not Released: The primary reason for this error is that the project definition has not been released. In SAP, projects must be released to allow for further processing, such as posting costs or creating purchase orders.
  Status of Project: The project may be in a draft or planning status, which prevents it from being used in transactions that require a released status.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to release the project.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Release the Project:
  
  Navigate to the project definition in the SAP system.
  Use transaction code CJ02 (Change Project) or CJ01 (Create Project) to access the project.
  Check the status of the project. If it is not released, you can release it by selecting the appropriate option (usually found in the menu or toolbar).
  Save the changes to release the project.
  
  
  
  Check Project Status:

  If you do not have the necessary permissions to release the project, contact your SAP administrator or the person responsible for user roles and authorizations in your organization.
