What causes this issue?

causes are:
An error occurred during replication.
There was a time lag between the time when the project was saved and
when the cost collector was created in Controlling.
It is also possible that the Accounting system is not available at this
time. This is indicated by the corresponding error message in the log.

System Response

The system could not provide any data or functions in the Accounting
system.

How to fix this error?

Recheck whether the Accounting system has recognized the project in the
meantime.
Use the Controlling Cockpit to analyze errors that could have occurred
when transferring the project and correct them. Then create the cost
collector in the Controlling Cockpit again.
If you cannot create the project in the Controlling Cockpit again,
rereplicate the project by setting the status <LS>Flag for Replication
</> for the project definition in Project Management .
If you are still unable to correct the error even after carrying out
these steps, contact your system administrator.

Procedure for System Administrators

If the Accounting system is not currently available, correct the cause
of this.
Once the Accounting system is available note the following:
The transfer of the project to the Accounting system is done per qRFC
(queued Remote Function Call). This technique ensures that the transfer
occurrs sequentially. However, if an error occurs in the target system,
the system does not continue to transfer and the queue hangs.
It is also possible that an error occurred when the project was
transferred. Use the transaction SMQ1 to analyze the queue <LB>
CPROJECTS_FIN_GECCO</>. With this transaction you can display the queue
status and restart it once the cause of the error has been found and
corrected.
You can also delete LUWs (Logical Units of Work) belonging to this
queue. However, note that this transfer is lost and you must retransfer
the project belonging to this LUW.
