• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PK552 - You cannot select by lifecycle status ?

  The SAP error message PK552 ("You cannot select by lifecycle status") typically occurs in the context of SAP Project System (PS) or related modules when a user attempts to filter or select projects, WBS elements, or other objects based on their lifecycle status, but the system does not allow this action due to certain restrictions or settings.
  Cause:
  
  Lifecycle Status Restrictions: The lifecycle status of a project or WBS element may not be set up to allow selection based on that status. For example, if the project is in a status that does not permit changes or selections, this error may occur.
  Configuration Settings: The system configuration may not support filtering by lifecycle status for the specific transaction or report being used.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or select objects based on their lifecycle status.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Lifecycle Status: Review the lifecycle status of the project or WBS element you are trying to select. Ensure that it is in a status that allows for selection.
  Review Configuration: If you have access to configuration settings, check the settings related to lifecycle status in the Project System. Ensure that the system is configured to allow selection based on lifecycle status.
  User Authorizations: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the action you are attempting. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to request the appropriate access.
  Use Alternative Selection Criteria: If filtering by lifecycle status is not possible, consider using other selection criteria that are allowed within the system.
