• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSHLP_MSG_CL141 - Creation of asset under construction is not possible for WBS &1 ?

  The SAP error message PSHLP_MSG_CL141 indicates that the creation of an asset under construction (AuC) is not possible for a specific Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) element. This error typically arises in the context of project systems (PS) and asset accounting (FI-AA) when trying to create an asset under construction linked to a WBS element.
  Causes:
  
  
  WBS Element Status: The WBS element may be in a status that does not allow the creation of assets. For example, if the WBS is closed or has been flagged as inactive, you will not be able to create an AuC.
  
  
  Project Definition Settings: The project definition associated with the WBS element may not be configured to allow asset under construction creation. This could be due to settings in the project profile or the project type.
  
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to create an asset under construction for the specified WBS element.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the asset accounting or project system settings that prevent the creation of AuC.
  
  
  WBS Element Type: The type of WBS element may not be compatible with asset under construction creation. Certain types of WBS elements may not be allowed to have AuC linked to them.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check WBS Element Status: Verify the status of the WBS element. If it is closed or inactive, you may need to reopen it or create a new WBS element that is active.
  
  
  Review Project Definition: Check the project definition and ensure that it is set up to allow the creation of assets under construction. You may need to adjust the project profile settings.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to create an asset under construction. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  
  
  Configuration Review: Consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings in both the project system and asset accounting modules. Ensure that the configuration allows for AuC creation.
  
  
  WBS Element Type Verification: Confirm that the WBS element type is appropriate for asset under construction. If necessary, create a new WBS element of the correct type.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like CJ20N (Project Builder) to check the WBS element and its status, and AS01 (Create Asset) to attempt the creation of the asset under construction.
