• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DPR_PROJECT054 - Project type &1 can no longer be used - see long text ?

  The SAP error message DPR_PROJECT054 indicates that a specific project type (denoted by &1) can no longer be used. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Project Management (PS) or SAP Portfolio and Project Management (PPM) when trying to access or manipulate a project that has been marked as inactive or has reached a status that prevents further processing.
  Cause:
  
  Project Status: The project may have been set to a status that prohibits further actions, such as "Completed" or "Closed."
  Project Type Configuration: The project type itself may have been deactivated in the system configuration, meaning that no new projects of that type can be created or existing ones can be modified.

  Review Project Type Configuration: Consult with your SAP administrator or configuration team to check if the project type is still active and available for use. If it has been deactivated, you may need to reactivate it.
