• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GHO_FC_MANAGE_PROJ094 - Existing network object name from PM cannot be used ?

  The SAP error message GHO_FC_MANAGE_PROJ094 indicates that there is an issue with the naming of a network object in the Project Management (PM) module. This error typically arises when you attempt to create or manage a project network that conflicts with an existing network object name.
  Cause:
  
  Name Conflict: The error usually occurs when the name of the network object you are trying to create or modify already exists in the system. SAP enforces unique naming conventions for network objects to avoid confusion and ensure data integrity.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration settings in the system that are not aligned with the naming conventions or project management settings.
  Data Consistency Issues: If there are inconsistencies in the database or if the project structure has been altered improperly, it can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Network Names: Verify the existing network object names in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction codes (like CN21 for creating networks or CN22 for changing networks) and checking for any existing entries that might conflict with the name you are trying to use.
  Rename the Network Object: If you find a conflict, consider renaming the network object you are trying to create or modify to something unique.
  Review Configuration Settings: Ensure that your project management configuration settings are correct. This includes checking the settings for network naming conventions and ensuring they align with your organization's standards.
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on your project data to identify any discrepancies that might be causing the issue. You can use transaction codes like CNE1 for network structure checks.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on naming conventions and project management best practices.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CN21, CN22, CJ20N (Project Builder), and CNE1 (Network Structure Check).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP Notes can provide additional context or solutions that are specific to your version of SAP.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify network objects in the system, as lack of permissions can sometimes lead to unexpected errors.
