How To Fix DPR_PHASE015 - Status of phase &1 is not up-to-date

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: DPR_PHASE - Messages for Phases

• Message number: 015

• Message text: Status of phase &1 is not up-to-date

What causes this issue?

The approval was granted automatically after granting or rejecting
the last individual approval, in accordance with the phase type.
However, because the corresponding phase could not be edited exclusively
at that time, the system could not set the status
<LS>Approval granted</> or <LS>Completed</> for the phase and it still
has the status <LS>For Approval</>.

System Response

Since the project is open in display mode or the phase cannot be locked,
the system cannot adjust the status of the phase. If the phase can be
locked again or if you edit the phase in change mode next time, the
system will update the status automatically when you save.

How to fix this error?

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
