• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CVP_EOP_PS028 - Projects contain blocked customers and vendors ?

  The SAP error message CVP_EOP_PS028 indicates that there are blocked customers or vendors associated with a project. This error typically arises during project-related transactions, such as when trying to post costs or create invoices, and it prevents the processing of these transactions due to the presence of blocked business partners.
  Cause:
  
  Blocked Customers/Vendors: The primary cause of this error is that one or more customers or vendors linked to the project have been marked as blocked in the system. This could be due to various reasons, such as credit issues, compliance concerns, or administrative decisions.
  Project Configuration: The project may be configured in such a way that it requires all associated customers and vendors to be active and unblocked for transactions to proceed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CVP_EOP_PS028 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Blocked Business Partners:
  
  Use transaction codes like SE16N or SE11 to check the relevant tables (e.g., KNA1 for customers, LFA1 for vendors) to identify which customers or vendors are blocked.
  You can also check the project details in transaction CJ20N or CJ03 to see which business partners are linked to the project.
  
  
  
  Unblock Customers/Vendors:
  
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can unblock the customers or vendors:
  
  For customers, go to transaction FD02 (Change Customer) and remove the block.
  For vendors, go to transaction FK02 (Change Vendor) and remove the block.
  
  
  Ensure that the reason for blocking is resolved before unblocking.
  
  
  
  Review Project Settings:
  
  Check the project settings to ensure that they align with your business processes. If necessary, consult with your project manager or SAP administrator to understand the implications of unblocking a customer or vendor.
  
  
  
  Consult with Relevant Departments:
  
  If you are unsure about unblocking a customer or vendor, consult with the finance or compliance department to ensure that it is appropriate to do so.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After unblocking, attempt the transaction again to see if the error persists. If it does, further investigation may be required.
