• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PLM_SE_PRS_MESSAGES074 - Parent WBS element has to be the same for an acty and its parent ntwk. ?

  The SAP error message PLM_SE_PRS_MESSAGES074 indicates that there is a mismatch between the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) element of an activity and its parent network in a project. Specifically, this error occurs when the WBS element assigned to an activity does not match the WBS element of the parent network to which the activity is linked.
  Cause:
  
  WBS Element Mismatch: The activity is assigned a WBS element that is different from the WBS element of the parent network. In SAP, each activity in a network must have a consistent WBS element that matches its parent network.
  Incorrect Assignment: The activity may have been incorrectly assigned to a different WBS element during creation or modification.
  Project Structure Changes: Changes in the project structure or WBS elements may have led to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Activity Assignment:
  
  Go to the activity in question and check the WBS element assigned to it.
  Verify the parent network's WBS element.
  
  
  
  Correct the WBS Element:
  
  If the WBS element of the activity is incorrect, change it to match the WBS element of the parent network.
  You can do this by navigating to the activity details and updating the WBS element field.
  
  
  
  Review Network Structure:
  
  Ensure that the network structure is correctly set up and that all activities are properly linked to their respective parent networks.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  You can use transaction codes like CJ20N (Project Builder) or CN22 (Change Network) to review and modify the project structure and activity assignments.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct WBS elements or network structure, consult your project documentation or speak with your project manager or SAP consultant.
