• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CTSPRJ121 - Project &1 contains released requests; project cannot be deleted ?

  The SAP error message CTSPRJ121 indicates that you are trying to delete a project that contains released requests. In SAP, a project can have various requests (or transport requests) associated with it, and if any of these requests have been released, the project cannot be deleted until those requests are handled appropriately.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the project you are attempting to delete has one or more transport requests that have been released. Released requests are those that have been finalized and are typically moved to the production environment. SAP prevents the deletion of projects with released requests to maintain data integrity and avoid loss of important transport information.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Released Requests:
  
  Use transaction code SE01 (Transport Organizer) or SE09 (Workbench Organizer) to view the transport requests associated with the project.
  Filter the requests to find those that are in the "Released" status.
  
  
  
  Unrelease or Delete Requests:
  
  If the released requests are no longer needed, you can delete them. However, this may not always be possible if they have already been transported to a production system.
  If you need to keep the requests, consider un-releasing them if your system allows it. This may involve changing the status of the requests, but be cautious as this can have implications on your transport management.
  
  
  
  Remove Requests from the Project:
  
  If you can, remove the released requests from the project. This may involve changing the project assignment of the requests or adjusting the project configuration.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other dependencies or references to the project that might prevent its deletion.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation or Support:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of deleting or un-releasing requests, consult your SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transport Management System (TMS): Understanding how the TMS works in SAP can help you manage transport requests effectively.
  Project Management in SAP: Familiarize yourself with how projects are structured and managed within SAP, including the lifecycle of transport requests.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional insights or solutions related to this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CTSPRJ121 error and successfully delete the project if needed.
