• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DPR_ARCHIVING015 - Project &1 assigned to an initiative ?

  The SAP error message DPR_ARCHIVING015 typically indicates that a project is assigned to an initiative, which prevents the archiving of that project. This is a common issue in SAP Project Management (PS) and Portfolio Management (DPR) when trying to archive projects that are still linked to active initiatives.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the project you are trying to archive is still associated with an initiative. Initiatives in SAP are often used to group projects for reporting and management purposes. If a project is linked to an initiative, it cannot be archived until that link is removed.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Initiative: Determine which initiative the project is assigned to. You can do this by checking the project details in the SAP system.
  
  
  Remove the Project from the Initiative:
  
  Navigate to the initiative in the SAP system.
  Remove the project from the initiative. This may involve editing the initiative details and deselecting the project.
  
  
  
  Check for Other Dependencies: Ensure that there are no other dependencies or links that might prevent archiving. This includes checking for any open tasks, approvals, or other related projects.
  
  
  Re-attempt Archiving: Once the project has been disassociated from the initiative, you can attempt to archive the project again.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CJ20N (Project Builder) for managing projects and DPR_ARCHIVE for archiving processes.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for detailed steps on managing initiatives and projects, as well as archiving procedures.
  Authorization: Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to modify project and initiative assignments.
