• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GHO_FC_GD_MSG045 - Project status does not allow I/U/D of constraints ?

  The SAP error message GHO_FC_GD_MSG045 indicates that the project status does not permit the insertion, update, or deletion (I/U/D) of constraints in the project management module. This typically occurs in the context of project planning and scheduling within SAP, particularly when working with project structures and their associated constraints.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Project Status: The project is in a status that restricts changes. For example, if the project is marked as "completed," "closed," or "frozen," it may not allow modifications to constraints.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the project constraints.
  Project Type: Certain project types may have specific rules regarding the modification of constraints.
  Locking Mechanism: The project might be locked by another user or process, preventing changes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Project Status:
  
  Review the current status of the project. If it is in a status that does not allow changes, you may need to change the status to one that does (e.g., "in progress").
  You can do this by navigating to the project in the Project System (PS) module and checking the status settings.
  
  
  
  Change Project Status:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can change the project status to allow modifications. This may involve using transaction codes like CJ20N (Project Builder) or CJ02 (Change Project).
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the appropriate authorizations to modify project constraints. You may need to contact your SAP security administrator to verify your roles and permissions.
