• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINS_FI_MPROJ095 - Cannot reset 'Project Completed' in production systems ?

  The SAP error message FINS_FI_MPROJ095 indicates that you are trying to reset the status of a project that has been marked as "Completed" in a production system. This is a common issue in SAP Project System (PS) when dealing with project statuses.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because once a project is marked as "Completed," it is generally considered finalized, and the system restricts any further changes to maintain data integrity and consistency. This is a safeguard to prevent accidental modifications to completed projects, especially in production environments.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Check Project Status: Verify if the project truly needs to be reset. If it is completed, assess whether any further actions are necessary.
  
  
  Use Development or Test Environment: If you need to test changes or reset the project status, consider doing this in a development or test environment rather than in production.
  
  
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to change project statuses. Sometimes, the error may be related to insufficient permissions.
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support: If you believe that the project status needs to be reset for valid reasons (e.g., a mistake was made), you may need to consult with your SAP support team or SAP directly. They can provide guidance on whether it is possible to reset the project status and the implications of doing so.
  
  
  Custom Development: In some cases, organizations may implement custom solutions or enhancements to allow for the resetting of project statuses. This should be approached with caution and thorough testing.
  
  
  Documentation and Procedures: Review your organization's procedures regarding project completion and status changes. There may be specific guidelines or workflows in place that need to be followed.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific notes related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions and workarounds for common issues.
  Project System Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the Project System module to understand how project statuses are managed and if there are any settings that can be adjusted.
  User Training: Ensure that users involved in project management are trained on the implications of marking projects as completed and the processes for handling project statuses.
  
  Always ensure that any changes made in a production environment are thoroughly tested and documented to avoid unintended consequences.
