  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RPM_UI006 - Please enter a Project technology type different from '0000' or ' '. ?

    The SAP error message RPM_UI006 indicates that a user is trying to enter a project in the Project Management module (specifically in the context of SAP Project System or SAP Portfolio and Project Management) without specifying a valid project technology type. The project technology type is a critical field that defines the nature of the project and its associated processes.

    Cause:

    The error occurs when:

    1. The project technology type is either set to '0000' or is left blank (represented by spaces).
    2. The system requires a valid project technology type to proceed with project creation or modification.

    Solution:

    To resolve this error, you should:

    1. Check Project Technology Type: Ensure that you are entering a valid project technology type that is defined in your SAP system. This can typically be done by:

      • Navigating to the relevant configuration settings in SAP to view the available project technology types.
      • Consulting with your SAP administrator or project manager to determine the correct technology type for your project.
    2. Enter a Valid Value: When creating or modifying the project, make sure to enter a project technology type that is not '0000' or blank. This should be a valid code that corresponds to the type of project you are working on.

    3. Configuration Settings: If you are unsure about the available project technology types, you may need to check the configuration settings in the SAP system:

      • Go to the SPRO transaction (SAP Project Reference Object) and navigate to the relevant section for Project Management.
      • Look for the configuration related to project types and technology types.
    4. User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify projects in the system. Sometimes, lack of permissions can lead to unexpected errors.
