• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CN370 - Network is released. Purchase requisition can no longer be changed ?

  The SAP error message CN370 ("Network is released. Purchase requisition can no longer be changed") typically occurs in the context of project management and procurement processes within SAP. This error indicates that the network associated with a project has been released, which means that it is no longer in a state where changes can be made to the purchase requisition linked to that network.
  Cause:
  
  Network Release: The primary cause of this error is that the network (or project) has been released. In SAP, once a network is released, it is locked for changes to ensure the integrity of the project planning and execution.
  Purchase Requisition Status: The purchase requisition is linked to the network, and if the network is in a released state, the system prevents any modifications to the requisition to avoid inconsistencies.
  Project Management Workflow: This error can also arise from the workflow processes in project management where certain statuses restrict changes to associated documents.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Network Status: Verify the status of the network in the project. If it is released and you need to make changes, you may need to revert the network to a "changeable" status. This typically requires the appropriate authorizations.
  Unrelease the Network: If you have the necessary permissions, you can "unrelease" the network. This is done through transaction codes like CN22 (Change Network) or CN41 (Display Network) to change the status back to a modifiable state.
  Create a New Purchase Requisition: If the network cannot be unreleased, consider creating a new purchase requisition that reflects the necessary changes and is not linked to the released network.
  Consult with Project Manager: If you are unsure about the implications of changing the network status, consult with the project manager or the person responsible for project management in your organization.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  CN22 - Change Network
  CN41 - Display Network
  ME51N - Create Purchase Requisition
  
  
  Authorization: Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to change network statuses or create purchase requisitions.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or internal guidelines regarding project management and procurement processes to understand the implications of changing network statuses.
  
  Best Practices:
  
  Always ensure that changes to project networks are communicated to all stakeholders to avoid confusion.
  Maintain proper documentation of any changes made to project networks and associated purchase requisitions for audit purposes.
  Regularly review project statuses to ensure that all team members are aware of the current state of projects and associated documents.
  
  If you continue to face issues or if the situation is complex, it may be beneficial to reach out to your SAP support team or a consultant for further assistance.
