• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RERAPP003 - Selected objects have "inactive" status ?

  The SAP error message RERAPP003 indicates that the selected objects (such as cost centers, internal orders, or other master data) have an "inactive" status. This typically occurs in the context of the SAP Controlling (CO) module, particularly when trying to perform activities related to planning, reporting, or posting transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Master Data: The objects you are trying to use (e.g., cost centers, internal orders) are marked as inactive in the system. This can happen if they have been deactivated or if they are not available for the current period.
  Period Closure: The period in which you are trying to perform the action may be closed, and the objects are not available for posting or planning.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that prevent the use of certain objects in specific scenarios.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Object Status:
  
  Navigate to the relevant master data (e.g., cost centers, internal orders) in the SAP GUI.
  Verify the status of the objects. If they are inactive, you may need to reactivate them.
  
  
  
  Reactivate Objects:
  
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can reactivate the inactive objects. This is typically done in the master data maintenance transaction (e.g., transaction code KS01 for cost centers).
  Ensure that the objects are set to "active" status.
  
  
  
  Review Period Settings:
  
  Check if the posting period is open. You can do this in the transaction OB52 (for controlling periods).
  If the period is closed, you may need to open it or perform the action in an open period.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that there are no settings preventing the use of the objects in question.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access and modify the objects. Lack of permissions can sometimes lead to similar error messages.
