• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DPR_SHARED246 - &1 &2 has status "Released"; automatic scheduling is not permitted ?

  The SAP error message DPR_SHARED246 indicates that a project or task has a status of "Released," which means that it is not allowed to be automatically scheduled. This is a common issue in SAP Project System (PS) or SAP Portfolio and Project Management (PPM) when trying to perform scheduling operations on a project that is in a released state.
  Cause:
  
  Project Status: The project or task is in a "Released" status, which typically means that it has been finalized and cannot be changed or scheduled automatically.
  Scheduling Restrictions: Automatic scheduling is restricted for projects that are in certain statuses to prevent unintended changes to the project plan.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following options:
  
  
  Change Project Status:
  
  If you need to perform scheduling, you may need to change the status of the project or task. This can typically be done by:
  
  Reverting the project status to a status that allows scheduling (e.g., "In Process" or "Planning").
  This can be done through the project management transaction (e.g., CJ20N) or the relevant transaction for your project type.
  
  
  
  
  
  Manual Scheduling:
  
  If changing the status is not an option, you may need to perform manual scheduling instead of relying on automatic scheduling. This involves adjusting the project dates and dependencies manually.
  
  
  
  Check Project Settings:
  
  Review the project settings to ensure that the project is set up correctly for the type of scheduling you want to perform. This includes checking the project type and any specific settings related to scheduling.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for specific guidelines on handling project statuses and scheduling.
