DPR_PROJECT069
- Top-down scheduling is not permitted; project contains summary tasks ?The SAP error message DPR_PROJECT069 indicates that top-down scheduling is not permitted because the project contains summary tasks. This error typically arises in the context of project management within SAP, particularly when using the SAP Project Management (PS) module or SAP Portfolio and Project Management (PPM) module.

This may involve breaking down summary tasks into individual tasks that can be scheduled independently. Use Bottom-Up Scheduling: If summary tasks are necessary for your project structure, switch to bottom-up
