• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CN429 - User statuses were deleted when milestone was copied ?

  The SAP error message CN429 ("User statuses were deleted when milestone was copied") typically occurs in the context of project management within SAP, particularly when dealing with milestones and user statuses in the Project System (PS) module. This error indicates that when a milestone is copied from one project or activity to another, the user statuses associated with that milestone were not carried over, leading to potential data integrity issues.
  Cause:
  
  User Status Configuration: The user statuses defined for the milestone may not be configured to be copied over during the milestone copying process. This can happen if the status profile does not allow for the transfer of user statuses.
  Copying Settings: The settings in the project or activity copying configuration may not include user statuses as part of the copy process.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data or configuration that prevent the user statuses from being copied correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Status Profile: Review the status profile assigned to the milestone. Ensure that the user statuses are configured to be copied. You can do this by navigating to the status profile settings in the SAP system.
  Adjust Copying Settings: If the copying settings do not include user statuses, you may need to adjust these settings. This can typically be done in the project or activity copying configuration.
  Manual Reassignment: If user statuses cannot be copied automatically, you may need to manually reassign the user statuses to the copied milestone after the copying process is complete.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on configuring user statuses and copying settings in your version of SAP.
  Testing: After making changes, perform a test copy of a milestone to ensure that user statuses are now being copied as expected.

  User Status Management: Understand how user statuses are defined and managed in SAP, including the implications of user status changes on project reporting and tracking.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in the Project System module for further assistance.
