• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CPD/SS_MESSAGES404 - Cannot create resource demands. Project is closed or complete ?

  The SAP error message /CPD/SS_MESSAGES404 indicates that you are trying to create resource demands for a project that is either closed or marked as complete. This is a common issue in project management within SAP, particularly in the context of Project System (PS) or similar modules.
  Cause:
  
  Project Status: The project you are trying to create resource demands for has been closed or completed. In SAP, once a project reaches a certain status (like "Closed" or "Completed"), it is typically locked for further changes, including the creation of new resource demands.
  Configuration Settings: The project may have been configured to prevent any further changes once it reaches a certain status.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to make changes to projects that are in a closed or completed state.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Project Status: Verify the status of the project in question. If it is indeed closed or completed, you will need to either:
  
  Reopen the project (if your business process allows for it) to make the necessary changes.
  Create a new project if the demands are for a new phase or additional work that cannot be accommodated within the existing project.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you have the necessary access, review the project configuration settings to see if there are any restrictions on creating resource demands after a project is completed.
  
  
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to make changes to the project. If not, contact your SAP administrator to request the necessary access.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to your organization's SAP documentation or guidelines regarding project management processes to understand the implications of reopening a project or creating new demands.
