• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DPR_TASK036 - Task type &2 is not valid for project type &1 ?

  The SAP error message DPR_TASK036 indicates that there is an issue with the task type being used in relation to the project type in the SAP Project Management module (DPR - Dynamic Project Management). Specifically, it means that the task type you are trying to assign or use is not valid for the specified project type.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch of Task Type and Project Type: The task type you are trying to use is not configured to be valid for the project type you are working with. Each project type in SAP can have specific task types associated with it, and if you attempt to use a task type that is not allowed for that project type, this error will occur.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue in the project management settings where the task types are not properly assigned to the project types.
  Data Entry Error: There could be a simple data entry error where the wrong task type is selected.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Project Type Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the project type in question. Ensure that the task type you are trying to use is included in the allowed task types for that project type.
  
  You can do this by navigating to the project type configuration in the SAP system (usually found in the SPRO transaction under Project Management settings).
  
  
  
  Select a Valid Task Type: If the task type you are trying to use is indeed invalid for the project type, you will need to select a different task type that is valid for that project type.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files for guidance on which task types are valid for your specific project type.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue through configuration or by selecting a different task type, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with SAP support for further assistance.
