• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSB_API_MSGCL136 - Collective PR maintenance for multiple project is not allowed ?

  The SAP error message PSB_API_MSGCL136 indicates that collective purchase requisition (PR) maintenance for multiple projects is not allowed. This typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify purchase requisitions that are associated with different projects in a single transaction, which is not permitted in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Projects: The primary cause of this error is that the purchase requisitions you are trying to maintain are linked to different projects. SAP does not allow collective processing of requisitions that belong to different project structures.
  Configuration Settings: There may be specific configuration settings in your SAP system that restrict collective maintenance for requisitions across multiple projects.
  
  Solution:
  
  Single Project Maintenance: Ensure that you are only working with purchase requisitions that are associated with a single project. If you need to maintain requisitions for multiple projects, you will have to do this in separate transactions for each project.
  Check Project Assignment: Review the project assignments of the purchase requisitions you are trying to maintain. Make sure they all belong to the same project.
  Use Transaction Codes: If you are using a transaction code that allows collective processing (like ME5A for PRs), ensure that you filter the requisitions by project to avoid mixing them.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for any specific configurations or restrictions that may apply to your system.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as ME51N (Create Purchase Requisition), ME52N (Change Purchase Requisition), and ME53N (Display Purchase Requisition) for individual maintenance.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional insights or updates that may address the issue.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the actions you are attempting, as restrictions may also be related to user roles.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in procurement processes within SAP.
