  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CN560 - WBS elements do not belong to same project definition ?

    The SAP error message CN560 indicates that there is an issue with the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) elements being used in a transaction. Specifically, it means that the WBS elements you are trying to use do not belong to the same project definition. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when you are trying to assign costs, create a network, or perform other project-related activities.

    Cause:

    1. Different Project Definitions: The WBS elements you are trying to work with are part of different project definitions. Each WBS element is linked to a specific project, and they cannot be combined or processed together if they belong to different projects.
    2. Incorrect WBS Element Selection: You may have inadvertently selected WBS elements from different projects when trying to perform a transaction.
    3. Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors or incorrect data selection can lead to this issue.

    Solution:

    1. Verify WBS Elements: Check the WBS elements you are using in your transaction. Ensure that they all belong to the same project definition. You can do this by reviewing the project structure in the Project System (PS) module.
    2. Select WBS Elements from the Same Project: If you need to perform an action involving multiple WBS elements, make sure to select only those that are part of the same project definition.
    3. Use Project Definition: If you are creating or modifying a project, ensure that you are using the correct project definition that encompasses all the WBS elements you intend to work with.
    4. Consult Project Documentation: If you are unsure about the project structure, refer to the project documentation or consult with your project manager or team lead.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP Project System, such as CJ20N (Project Builder), CJ03 (Display WBS), and CJ02 (Change WBS).
    • Project Structure: Understanding the hierarchy of project definitions, WBS elements, and networks is crucial for effective project management in SAP.
