• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GHO_FC_MANAGE_PROJ117 - Project's status does not allow I/U/D of Medium ?

  The SAP error message GHO_FC_MANAGE_PROJ117 indicates that the project's status does not permit the insertion, update, or deletion (I/U/D) of medium-related data. This typically occurs in the context of project management within SAP, particularly when dealing with project structures, resources, or financial data.
  Cause:
  
  Project Status: The project may be in a status that restricts changes. For example, if the project is marked as "Completed," "Closed," or "Locked," modifications to its medium (such as resources or financial data) will not be allowed.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to make changes to the project in its current status.
  Configuration Settings: Certain configurations in the project management module may restrict changes based on the project type or status.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Project Status: Review the current status of the project. If it is in a restricted status, consider changing it to a status that allows modifications (if appropriate).
  
  You can typically do this in the project management transaction (e.g., CJ02 for changing projects).
  
  
  
  Change Project Status: If the project needs to be modified, you may need to change its status to allow for updates. This may involve:
  
  Unlocking the project if it is locked.
  Changing the project status from "Completed" to "In Progress" or another status that allows changes.
  
  
  
  User Authorization: Ensure that the user attempting to make the changes has the necessary authorizations. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  
  
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to review any settings that may be enforcing these restrictions based on project types or statuses.
  
  
  Documentation and Support: Refer to SAP documentation for specific details on project statuses and their implications. If needed, contact SAP support for further assistance.
