• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSS4_MSG060 - Project cannot be updated in released status ?

  The SAP error message PSS4_MSG060 indicates that a project cannot be updated because it is in a released status. This typically occurs in the context of project management within SAP, particularly when dealing with project structures and their associated data.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the project you are trying to modify is in a "released" status. In SAP Project System (PS), once a project is released, certain changes are restricted to maintain the integrity of the project data. This is a safeguard to prevent unauthorized or unintended modifications to projects that are already in a finalized state.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you have a few options:
  
  
  Check Project Status: Verify the current status of the project. If it is indeed in a released status, you will need to take appropriate actions based on your requirements.
  
  
  Unrelease the Project: If you need to make changes to the project, you may need to "unrelease" it. This can typically be done by:
  
  Navigating to the project in the SAP GUI.
  Using the transaction code CJ20N (Project Builder) or CJ02 (Change Project).
  Selecting the project and choosing the option to "unrelease" it. Note that you may need appropriate authorizations to perform this action.
  
  
  
  Create a New Version: If un-releasing is not an option (due to business rules or policies), consider creating a new version of the project where you can make the necessary changes.
  
  
  Consult with Project Management: If you are unsure about the implications of un-releasing a project or if you do not have the necessary permissions, consult with your project management team or SAP administrator.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to change the project status. If you do not have the required permissions, you will need to contact your SAP security administrator.
  Documentation: Review your organization's project management policies regarding project releases and modifications. There may be specific procedures in place that dictate how to handle changes to released projects.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional insights or updates related to this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the PSS4_MSG060 error and proceed with your project management tasks in SAP.
