• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GHO_FC_MANAGE_PROJ118 - Project's status does not allow I/U/D of Network Object ?

  The SAP error message GHO_FC_MANAGE_PROJ118 indicates that the status of a project does not permit the insertion, update, or deletion (I/U/D) of a network object. This typically occurs in the context of project management within SAP, particularly when dealing with project structures and their associated networks.
  Cause:
  
  Project Status: The project may be in a status that restricts changes. For example, if the project is set to a status like "Completed" or "Closed," modifications to its network objects (like activities, milestones, etc.) may not be allowed.
  Network Status: Similar to the project status, the network itself may have a status that prevents changes. If the network is locked or has been set to a status that prohibits modifications, you will encounter this error.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the project or network, leading to this error.
  Configuration Settings: There may be specific configuration settings in the project management module that restrict changes based on the project or network status.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Project Status: Review the status of the project in the project management module. 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").
  Check Network Status: Similarly, check the status of the network associated with the project. If it is locked or in a restricted status, you may need to unlock it or change its status.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the intended actions. If not, contact your SAP administrator to obtain the required permissions.
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to project and network statuses. They may need to adjust the configuration to allow for the desired changes.
  Use Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like CJ20N (Project Builder) or CN21 (Create Network) to check and modify project and network details.
