• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DPR_TASK032 - Inconsistencies may occur when tasks w. percentage of compl. are exported ?

  The SAP error message DPR_TASK032 indicates that there are inconsistencies in the project tasks when exporting tasks that have a percentage of completion. This error typically arises in the context of project management within SAP, particularly when dealing with the Project System (PS) or the Project Management (DPR) module.
  Cause:
  
  
  Inconsistent Data: The error often occurs when there are discrepancies in the data related to the percentage of completion for tasks. This could be due to:
  
  Manual entries that do not align with the actual progress of the task.
  Changes made to the task structure or hierarchy that have not been properly updated in the system.
  Tasks that have been marked as completed but still show a percentage of completion that is not 100%.
  
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with the integrity of the data in the database, such as missing or incorrect entries that lead to inconsistencies.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the project management module can also lead to this error.
