• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CN059 - Network has no costs ?

  The SAP error message CN059 ("Network has no costs") typically occurs in the context of project management and network planning within the SAP system, particularly when dealing with project networks (PS module). This error indicates that the network you are trying to process does not have any cost elements associated with it, which can prevent further actions such as settlement or planning.
  Causes:
  
  No Activities Assigned: The network may not have any activities assigned to it, which means there are no cost elements to calculate.

  Status of the Network: The network might be in a status that does not allow for cost calculation or processing.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Activities: Ensure that there are activities assigned to the network. If there are none, you need to create and assign activities that will incur costs.
