• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSS4_MSG104 - Project is released ?

  The SAP error message PSS4_MSG104 indicates that a project is in a "released" status, which means that it cannot be modified or changed until it is set back to a "not released" status. This is a common scenario in project management within SAP, particularly in the Project System (PS) module.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when a user attempts to make changes to a project that has already been released. In SAP, once a project is released, it is locked for modifications to ensure data integrity and to prevent changes that could affect project execution and reporting.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Project Status: Verify the current status of the project. You can do this by navigating to the project in the Project System and checking its status.
  
  
  Unrelease the Project: If you need to make changes to the project, you will have to "unrelease" it. This can typically be done by:
  
  Going to the project in the Project Builder (transaction code: CJ20N).
  Selecting the project and choosing the option to "Set Project to Not Released" (this may vary based on your SAP version and configuration).
  
  
  
  Make Necessary Changes: Once the project is un-released, you can make the necessary changes.
  
  
  Release the Project Again: After making the changes, you will need to release the project again to ensure that it is ready for execution.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to change the project status. If you do not have the required permissions, you may need to contact your SAP administrator.
  
  
  Project Management Best Practices: It is advisable to have a clear process for project releases and changes to avoid frequent un-releasing and re-releasing, which can lead to confusion and potential errors.
  
  
  Documentation: Always document any changes made to the project for future reference and to maintain a clear audit trail.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional insights or updates related to this error message.
  
  
  If you continue to experience issues or if the project cannot be un-released due to system constraints, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP documentation for further assistance.
