• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABJ_MSG202 - BO changed by BADI "/PM0/ABJ_CREATEAPL_BADI", journal entry is obligatory ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABJ_MSG202 indicates that a journal entry is obligatory due to changes made by the BADI /PM0/ABJ_CREATEAPL_BADI. This typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting or Project Management when certain conditions are not met, leading to the requirement for a journal entry to be created.
  Cause:
  
  BADI Implementation: The BADI /PM0/ABJ_CREATEAPL_BADI is designed to allow custom logic during the creation of asset-related documents. If this BADI is implemented and it modifies the asset data in a way that requires a journal entry, the system will trigger this error.
  Missing Journal Entry: The system expects a journal entry to be created for the changes made to the asset or project. If the necessary conditions for creating a journal entry are not fulfilled, this error will occur.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in Asset Accounting or Project Management that dictate when a journal entry is required, and these settings may not align with the current transaction.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check BADI Implementation: Review the implementation of the BADI /PM0/ABJ_CREATEAPL_BADI. Ensure that the logic within the BADI is correctly handling the creation of journal entries when necessary.
  Create Journal Entry: If the system indicates that a journal entry is obligatory, you may need to manually create the journal entry to proceed with the transaction.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the Asset Accounting or Project Management modules to ensure they are set up correctly. This includes settings related to journal entries and asset transactions.
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can trace the execution of the BADI to see what conditions are leading to the error. This can provide insights into what changes are being made and why a journal entry is required.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the BADI and the error message for any specific guidance or known issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context on the BADI.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to Asset Accounting (e.g., AS01, AS02) and Project Management (e.g., CJ20N) to understand where the error may be occurring.
  User Exits and Enhancements: If the BADI is not sufficient, consider whether other user exits or enhancements may be necessary to handle the business logic appropriately.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who specializes in Asset Accounting or Project Management.
