• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RPM_INTEGRATION152 - Item &1 does not have an underlying project; integration stopped ?

  The SAP error message RPM_INTEGRATION152 indicates that there is an issue with the integration of an item in the SAP system, specifically that the item does not have an underlying project associated with it. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Project Management or SAP Portfolio and Project Management (PPM) when trying to integrate items (like purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or other project-related items) with a project.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Project Association: The item you are trying to integrate does not have a valid project assigned to it. This could happen if the item was created without linking it to a project or if the project was deleted or not properly set up.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the integration settings between the modules (e.g., between Project System and Materials Management).
  Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies in the master data or transactional data that prevent the system from recognizing the project association.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Item Configuration: Verify that the item in question is correctly configured and associated with a valid project. You can do this by checking the item details in the relevant transaction (e.g., ME23N for purchase orders).
  Assign Project: If the item does not have a project assigned, you may need to assign it to an existing project or create a new project and link the item to it.
  Review Project Status: Ensure that the project is active and not in a status that would prevent integration (e.g., closed or archived).
  Check Integration Settings: Review the integration settings between the relevant SAP modules to ensure they are correctly configured. This may involve checking the customizing settings in SPRO.
  Data Consistency Check: Run data consistency checks to identify any discrepancies in the master data or transactional data that may be causing the issue.
