  The SAP error message FINS_FI_MPROJ121 typically indicates that there is an issue with the processing of financial data in the context of project management or financial accounting. The message suggests that the system cannot reset the data because there are ongoing processes that need to be stopped first.
  Cause:
  
  Ongoing Processes: The error usually occurs when there are active processes or transactions that are preventing the system from resetting the data. This could include open postings, locked records, or transactions that are still being processed.
