• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSS4_MSG214 - You cannot move as Project is in TECO status ?

  The SAP error message PSS4_MSG214 indicates that you are trying to perform a movement or action on a project that is in "TECO" (Technically Completed) status. This status means that the project has been completed from a technical perspective, and no further changes or movements can be made to it.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the project you are attempting to modify or move is in a status that restricts further changes. When a project is set to TECO, it typically indicates that all work has been completed, and the project is in a state where it should not be altered.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you have a few options:
  
  
  Check Project Status: Verify the status of the project. If it is indeed in TECO status and you need to make changes, you may need to change the project status back to a modifiable state (like "In Progress"). This can usually be done by a project manager or someone with the appropriate authorization.
  
  
  Reopen the Project: If you need to make changes, you may need to "reopen" the project. This typically involves changing the status from TECO to a status that allows for modifications. The exact steps to do this can vary based on your organization's SAP configuration.
  
  
  Consult with Project Management: If you are unsure about the implications of changing the project status, consult with your project management team or SAP administrator. They can provide guidance on whether it is appropriate to change the status and what the consequences might be.
  
  
  Review Documentation: Check any internal documentation or guidelines regarding project status changes in your organization. There may be specific procedures to follow when dealing with projects in TECO status.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  TECO Status: Understand that TECO is a standard status in SAP that indicates the project is technically complete. It is important for project accounting and reporting.
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to change project statuses. In many organizations, only certain roles can perform these actions.
  Impact of Changes: Be aware that changing a project status can have implications for financial reporting, resource allocation, and project tracking.
  
  If you continue to face issues or if the project needs to remain in TECO status for compliance or reporting reasons, you may need to explore alternative solutions or workarounds that do not require changing the project status.
