Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RPM_APPL004 - Successful simulation of Project System project creation ?

  The SAP error message RPM_APPL004, which states "Successful simulation of Project System project creation," is not actually an error in the traditional sense. Instead, it indicates that the system has successfully simulated the creation of a Project System (PS) project. This message typically appears during the simulation phase of project creation, where the system checks the inputs and configurations before the actual project is created.
  Cause:
  
  Simulation Mode: The message is generated when you run a simulation for creating a project in the Project System module. It means that the system has validated the inputs and found no issues that would prevent the project from being created.
  No Errors Detected: The simulation checks for various parameters, such as project definitions, work breakdown structures (WBS), and other configurations. If everything is correct, this message is displayed.
  
  Solution:
  Since this message indicates a successful simulation, no corrective action is needed. However, if you intended to create the project and are seeing this message, you should proceed with the actual project creation process. Here are the steps you might follow:
  
  Review Simulation Results: Check the details of the simulation to ensure that all parameters are as expected.
  Create the Project: If the simulation results are satisfactory, you can proceed to create the project by executing the actual project creation transaction (e.g., using transaction code CJ20N or CJ01).
  Monitor for Further Messages: After creating the project, monitor for any additional messages or errors that may arise during the actual creation process.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CJ01 (Create Work Breakdown Structure), CJ20N (Project Builder), and CJ02 (Change Project).
  Project System Configuration: Ensure that your Project System configuration is set up correctly, including settings for project types, WBS elements, and network activities.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for detailed information on project creation and simulation processes in the Project System module.
  
  If you encounter any issues during the actual project creation after the simulation, you may need to investigate specific error messages or warnings that arise at that stage.
