• Message number: 007

• Message text: The project does not have any elements to be costed

What causes this issue?

The following elements are selected from the project for costing:
<ZK>Project participants or roles</>
<ZK>Resources or staffings</>
<ZK>Tasks</>
<ZK>Role-task links</>
An element is only relevant to costing if demand or work is planned for
it.

System Response

The system could not find an element relevant to costing.

How to fix this error?

Check the elements potentially relevant to costing in the project and
plan the work or required capacity.
Note that depending on the controlling scenario used, the project data
is selected in different ways. The project data selection is divided
into project element-oriented controlling scenarios and role-based
controlling scenarios. You decide which scenario is to be used via the
project type. If, for example, you only want to carry out costing for
project elements in a project but have set up a role-based controlling
scenario via the project type, the system does not determine any
costing-relevant data.

Procedure for System Administrators
