  The SAP error message PLM_SE_PRS_MESSAGES077 indicates that there is a mismatch in the parent network for an activity and its associated activity element in a project or process. This typically occurs in the context of Project System (PS) or Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) modules when you are trying to create or modify activities and their relationships.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  An activity (acty) is linked to an activity element (acty element) that belongs to a different parent network. In SAP, each activity and its elements must belong to the same network for proper hierarchy and relationship management.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Network Assignment:
  
  Verify that both the activity and the activity element are assigned to the same parent network. You can do this by checking the network assignment in the project structure.
  
  
  
  Correct the Assignment:
  
  If they are not assigned to the same network, you will need to either:
  
  Change the activity element to belong to the correct network.
  Or, if necessary, create a new activity that is part of the same network as the activity element.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review Project Structure:
  
  Ensure that the overall project structure is correctly set up and that all elements are properly linked. This includes checking for any inconsistencies in the project hierarchy.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction codes like CJ20N (Project Builder) or CJ02 (Change Project) to review and modify the project structure and network assignments.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on managing networks and activities within the Project System or PLM modules.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
