• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message INM_OF_PROJECT004 - Project template to be used is solely allowed in context 'Initiative'. ?

  The SAP error message INM_OF_PROJECT004 indicates that a project template you are trying to use is restricted to a specific context, namely "Initiative." This typically occurs in the context of SAP Project Management or SAP Portfolio and Project Management (PPM) when you attempt to create or manage a project using a template that is not applicable to the current project type or context.
  Cause:
  The error arises because:
  
  The project template you are trying to use is defined to be used only in the context of an "Initiative."

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Project Context: Ensure that you are creating the project in the correct context. If the template is meant for initiatives, make sure you are in the initiative context.

  Template Configuration: If you have the necessary permissions, you can review the configuration of the project templates in the system. This may involve:
  
  Accessing the project template settings in the SAP system.
  Modifying the template to allow it to be used in other contexts if that aligns with your business processes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on project templates and their contexts. This can provide insights into how templates are structured and used.
