• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RM014 - Entry of actual data not allowed according to status check ?

  The SAP error message RM014 ("Entry of actual data not allowed according to status check") typically occurs in the context of project management or production planning when a user attempts to enter actual data (such as actual costs, actual hours, etc.) for a project or order that is not in a status that allows such entries. This is a common issue in SAP systems, particularly in modules like SAP Project System (PS) or SAP Controlling (CO).
  Causes:
  
  Status Profile Restrictions: The project or order may have a status profile that restricts the entry of actual data. For example, if the project is marked as "completed" or "closed," the system will not allow any further actual postings.
  User Authorization: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to enter actual data for the specific project or order.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the project or order may not allow for actual data entry due to business rules or settings defined in the system.
  Period Closing: The posting period may be closed, preventing any further entries of actual data.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Status: Review the status of the project or order. If it is closed or completed, you may need to change the status to allow for actual data entry, if appropriate.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to post actual data. This may involve checking user roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  Configuration Review: Consult with your SAP configuration team to review the status profile and ensure that it is set up correctly to allow actual data entry when needed.
  Open Posting Period: Check if the posting period is open. If it is closed, you may need to open the period or post the data in a different period if applicable.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the status profiles and their implications for data entry.
  
  Related Information:
