• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PS_DMND101 - You cannot change active objects. ?

  The SAP error message PS_DMND101 ("You cannot change active objects") typically occurs in the context of Project System (PS) when you attempt to modify an active object, such as a project, network, or activity, that is currently in use or has been released. This restriction is in place to maintain data integrity and prevent inconsistencies in project management.
  Cause:
  
  Active Status: The object you are trying to change is in an active state, meaning it is currently being used in a project or has been released for execution.
