• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DPR_EVE608 - Project is not active, evaluation not possible ?

  The SAP error message DPR_EVE608 indicates that a project is not active, which prevents any evaluations or operations from being performed on it. This error typically arises in the context of project management within SAP, particularly when using the SAP Project Management (PS) or SAP Portfolio and Project Management (PPM) modules.
  Cause:
  
  Project Status: The project may be in a status that does not allow for evaluations. For example, it could be in a "Not Started" or "Closed" status.
  Project Activation: The project has not been activated or has been deactivated. In SAP, projects must be activated to perform evaluations and other operations.
  Missing Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or evaluate the project.
  System Configuration: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict the evaluation of certain projects.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Project Status:
  
  Navigate to the project in question and check its status. Ensure that it is set to an active status (e.g., "In Progress").
  If the project is not active, you may need to change its status to active.
  
  
  
  Activate the Project:
  
  If the project is not activated, you can activate it using the appropriate transaction code (e.g., CJ20N for project management).
  Ensure that all necessary prerequisites for activation are met.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Check if the user has the necessary authorizations to access and evaluate the project. This may involve consulting with your SAP security team to ensure that the user roles are correctly assigned.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration Settings:
  
  If the project should be active but is still showing as inactive, consult with your SAP configuration team to review any settings that may be affecting project activation and evaluation.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Sometimes, projects may have dependencies on other projects or tasks that need to be resolved before they can be activated.
  
  
  
  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 statuses.
