  The SAP error message KJ101 indicates that a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) element in a project is not released for billing. This typically occurs in the context of project management and controlling within SAP, particularly when dealing with project-related billing and revenue recognition.
  Cause:
  The error message KJ101 can be triggered by several factors:
  
  
  WBS Element Status: The WBS element may not be set to a status that allows billing. It needs to be released for billing in order to process any invoices or billing documents.

  Billing Block: There may be a billing block set on the WBS element or the project, preventing any billing activities.
  
  
  Completion of Milestones: If the billing is tied to specific milestones, those milestones may not have been completed or confirmed.
