• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CPCC080 - No objects can be assigned to a dummy operation ?

  The SAP error message CPCC080 ("No objects can be assigned to a dummy operation") typically occurs in the context of SAP Project System (PS) or SAP Controlling (CO) when you are trying to assign objects (like activities, materials, or costs) to a dummy operation in a project or order. A dummy operation is a placeholder operation that does not have any actual work or resources associated with it.
  Cause:
  
  Dummy Operation: The operation you are trying to assign objects to is defined as a dummy operation. Dummy operations are not intended to have actual assignments.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the project or order may not allow for assignments to dummy operations.
  Missing Data: There may be missing or incorrect data in the project or order that prevents the assignment.
  System Settings: Certain system settings or authorizations may restrict the assignment of objects to dummy operations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Operation Type: Verify if the operation you are trying to assign objects to is indeed a dummy operation. If it is, consider whether you need to create a new operation that is not a dummy operation for your assignments.
  Modify Project Structure: If the dummy operation is not needed, you can modify the project structure to remove it or replace it with a valid operation.
  Review Assignment Logic: Ensure that the logic you are using to assign objects is correct and that you are targeting the right operations.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling dummy operations in your version of SAP.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the project or order.
