• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_PS_SUPR009 - SuPr: Current object has multiple successors ?

  The SAP error message CRM_PS_SUPR009 indicates that the current object in the Project System (PS) has multiple successors, which can lead to ambiguity in the project structure. This error typically arises when you are trying to perform an operation that requires a single successor, but the system has identified multiple successors for the current object.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Successors: The primary cause of this error is that the project structure has been defined in such a way that the current object (e.g., a task or activity) has more than one successor. This can happen due to incorrect or incomplete project planning.
  Incorrect Dependencies: The dependencies between tasks may not have been set up correctly, leading to multiple paths from the current object to subsequent tasks.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the project data, such as duplicate entries or incorrect relationships between tasks.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Project Structure: Check the project structure to identify the current object and its successors. You can do this by navigating to the project in the Project Management (CJ20N) transaction and reviewing the relationships.
  Adjust Successor Relationships: If you find that there are indeed multiple successors, you will need to decide which successor should be retained and remove the others. This can be done by editing the relationships in the project structure.
  Use the Change Project Functionality: In the project management transaction (CJ20N), you can use the "Change" function to modify the relationships. Select the current object, and then check the "Successors" tab to see the existing successors.
  Check for Data Integrity: Ensure that there are no duplicate entries or incorrect relationships. You may need to run consistency checks or use transaction codes like CJEN (for project structure) to check for inconsistencies.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about how to proceed, refer to SAP documentation or consult with a project management expert within your organization.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CJ20N (Project Builder), CJ02 (Change Project), and CJ03 (Display Project) for managing project structures.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional guidance or patches that may address known issues.
  Training and Support: If you are frequently encountering this error, consider additional training on SAP Project System or seek support from your SAP Basis or functional team.
