• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CN013 - Network & released ?

  The SAP error message CN013 ("Network & released") typically occurs in the context of project management and network planning within the SAP system, particularly in the Project System (PS) module. This error indicates that a network has been released, which means that it is no longer in a state where changes can be made to it.
  Cause:
  
  Network Status: The network has been released, which prevents any modifications to its activities, relationships, or other attributes.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to change the status of the network.
  Project Structure: The network might be part of a larger project structure that has been finalized or locked for changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Network Status: Verify the status of the network in the SAP system. You can do this by navigating to the network in question and checking its status. If it is released, you may need to change it back to a "not released" status if you have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  Releasing the Network: If you need to make changes, you may need to "unrelease" the network. This can typically be done by:
  
  Going to the network in the Project System.
  Selecting the option to change the status (this may require specific authorizations).
  Setting the status back to "not released" or "in process."
  
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the appropriate authorizations to modify the network status. If not, contact your SAP administrator or project manager to obtain the necessary permissions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling project networks and statuses.
  
  
  Consult with Project Manager: If the network is part of a larger project, consult with the project manager or relevant stakeholders to understand if changes are permissible.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like CN21 (Create Network), CN22 (Change Network), and CN23 (Display Network) to manage networks.
  Status Management: Familiarize yourself with the different statuses a network can have and the implications of each status on project management.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to the Project System that might address known issues or provide additional guidance.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to reach out to your SAP support team for further assistance.
