  Select Correct Predecessor: If the predecessor task is indeed in a different case, you will need to select a valid predecessor that exists within the same project case.
  Review Project Structure: Ensure that the project structure is correctly set up and that all tasks are properly assigned to their respective cases.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on managing project dependencies and cases.
