• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSS4_MSG094 - Project & status is set to released ?

  The SAP error message PSS4_MSG094 indicates that a project and its status are set to "released." This typically means that the project is in a state where no further changes can be made to it, as it has been finalized and approved for execution. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Project Status: The project has been released, which restricts modifications to its structure, such as adding or changing tasks, resources, or other project-related data.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to make changes to a released project.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to prevent changes to projects once they reach a certain status.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Project Status: Verify the current status of the project. If it is indeed released, you will need to follow the appropriate procedures to make any changes.
  Change Project Status: If changes are necessary, you may need to set the project back to a status that allows modifications. This typically requires specific authorizations and may involve:
  
  Changing the project status back to "in planning" or "in progress" if your organization’s policies allow it.
  Using transaction codes like CJ20N (Project Builder) or CJ02 (Change Project) to attempt to change the status, if permitted.
  
  
  Consult with Project Manager: If you are not authorized to change the project status, consult with the project manager or the person responsible for project governance to discuss the need for changes.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to modify project data. If not, request the required permissions from your SAP security team.
  Documentation and Procedures: Follow your organization’s documentation and procedures for handling changes to released projects. This may involve formal change requests or approvals.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for project management to understand the implications of project statuses and the processes involved in changing them.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CJ20N (Project Builder), CJ02 (Change Project), and CJ03 (Display Project) for managing project data.
  User Roles: Understand the roles and responsibilities within your organization regarding project management to ensure compliance with internal policies.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in project systems.
