• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSB_API_MSGCL061 - Operative project does not contain some objects that are in the draft ?

  The SAP error message PSB_API_MSGCL061 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the operative project and the draft project in the Project System (PS) module. Specifically, it means that the operative project does not contain some objects that are present in the draft project. This can occur during various operations, such as when trying to release a draft project or when attempting to transfer data from a draft to an operative project.
  Cause
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Missing Objects: The draft project may have objects (like WBS elements, networks, activities, etc.) that have not been created or are not included in the operative project.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data between the draft and operative projects, such as changes made to the operative project after the draft was created.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or modify certain objects in the operative project.
  Project Structure Changes: If the structure of the operative project has been modified (e.g., WBS elements deleted or renamed), it can lead to this error.
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Draft and Operative Projects:
  
  Compare the objects in the draft project with those in the operative project. Identify which objects are missing in the operative project.
  Use transaction codes like CJ20N (Project Builder) to view the structure of both projects.
  
  
  
  Add Missing Objects:
  
  If the missing objects are required, you can manually create them in the operative project or adjust the draft project to remove references to these objects.
  
  
  
  Synchronize Projects:
  
  If the draft project is intended to be a complete representation of the operative project, consider synchronizing the two by ensuring that all necessary objects are included in both.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access and modify the objects in the operative project.
