How To Fix CNIF_PI078 - Processing not possible because there is no initialization

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CNIF_PI - BAPI Notifications of Project System

• Message number: 078

• Message text: Processing not possible because there is no initialization

What causes this issue?

Definition "Processing Unit"
In the following, the term "processing unit" refers to a series of
related processing steps.
The first step in a processing unit is initialization, which is done by
calling the BAPI <ZH>BAPI_PS_INIIALIZATION</>. Afterwards, the
individual BAPIs can be used several times, if required. The processing
unit ends when the final precommit (call of BAPI <ZH>BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT
</>) is executed with a subsequent <ZH>COMMIT WORK
</> (for example, the statement COMMIT WORK, the BAPI
"BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT" or the BapiService.TransactionCommit method).

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

After the final COMMIT WORK, the next initialization opens a new
processing unit via the BAPI "BAPI_PS_INITIALIZATION".
In the current processing unit, however, no initialization has been
carried out.

System Response

The system does not execute the current individual BAPI and processes
the message in the log as an error message.

How to fix this error?

At the start of each processing unit, call up the BAPI
"BAPI_PS_INITIALIZATION".
