• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GHO_FC_MANAGE_PROJ120 - Project's status doesn't allow I/U/D of Links ?

  The SAP error message GHO_FC_MANAGE_PROJ120 indicates that the status of a project does not permit the insertion, update, or deletion (I/U/D) of links. This typically occurs in the context of project management within SAP, particularly when dealing with project structures, tasks, or dependencies.
  Cause:
  
  Project Status: The project may be in a status that restricts changes. For example, if the project is completed, archived, or in a locked state, modifications to links (such as dependencies between tasks) may not be allowed.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to make changes to the project links.
  Configuration Settings: Certain configurations in the project management module may restrict changes based on the project type or status.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Project Status: 
  
  Navigate to the project in question and check its current status. If it is in a status that does not allow changes (like "Completed" or "Closed"), you may need to change the status back to a modifiable state (like "In Progress").
  If the project is archived, you may need to unarchive it or create a new project for further modifications.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations: 
  
  Ensure that the user attempting to make the changes has the appropriate authorizations. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration Settings: 
  
  If the project is configured to restrict changes based on certain criteria, consult with your SAP administrator or project management team to understand the configuration and whether it can be adjusted.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: 
  
  Use relevant transaction codes (like CJ20N for project management) to navigate to the project and check its details.
  
  
  
  Error Logs: 
  
  Check the system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for project management to understand the implications of project statuses and how they affect link management.
