• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CN048 - The status of the network '&' does not permit changes ?

  The SAP error message CN048 indicates that the status of a network in the Project System (PS) does not allow for changes to be made. This typically occurs when the network is in a status that restricts modifications, such as "TECO" (Technically Completed), "CLSD" (Closed), or other statuses that indicate the network is no longer active for changes.
  Causes:
  
  
  Network Status: The network may be in a status that prohibits changes. Common statuses that prevent changes include:
  
  TECO (Technically Completed)
  CLSD (Closed)
  Other statuses defined in the system that restrict modifications.
  
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the network.
  
  
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to restrict changes to networks based on certain criteria or business rules.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Network Status:
  
  Navigate to the network in question and check its current status. If it is in a status like TECO or CLSD, you will need to reverse this status if changes are necessary.
  You can use transaction code CN22 to change the status of the network if you have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Reopen the Network:
  
  If the network is technically completed (TECO), you may need to set it back to a status that allows changes. This can be done using transaction CN22 to change the status back to "In Process" or another appropriate status.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the network. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to request the required permissions.
  
  
  
  Consult with Project Management:
  
  If the network is closed or completed, consult with the project management team to determine if changes are necessary and if they can approve reopening the network.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in the Project System to ensure that the status management is set up correctly according to your organization’s policies.
