• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSH_PROJ_ASG031 - Assignment cannot be created as Request &1 was completed or closed ?

  The SAP error message RSH_PROJ_ASG031 indicates that an assignment cannot be created because the associated request (identified by &1) has been completed or closed. This typically occurs in the context of project management or resource assignment within SAP systems, particularly in modules like SAP Project System (PS) or SAP Controlling (CO).
  Cause:
  
  Request Status: The request you are trying to assign resources to has already been marked as completed or closed. This means that no further changes, including assignments, can be made to it.
  Project Lifecycle: The project or request may have reached a stage where it is no longer editable, often due to business rules or configurations that prevent changes after a certain point.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to a completed or closed request.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Request Status: Verify the status of the request (the one identified by &1). If it is indeed completed or closed, you will need to either:
  
  Reopen the request if your business process allows it.
  Create a new request or project for the assignment you are trying to make.
  
  
  
  Consult with Project Management: If the request needs to be reopened or modified, consult with your project manager or the relevant authority in your organization to understand the implications and get the necessary approvals.
  
  
  Create a New Assignment: If reopening the request is not an option, consider creating a new assignment under a new request or project that is still open.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to the project or request. If not, contact your SAP administrator to review your access rights.
  
  
  Related Information:
