• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TBLP060 - Open requirements exist on sending WBS-element ?

  The SAP error message TBLP060 indicates that there are open requirements associated with a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) element when trying to perform a certain action, such as transferring or deleting the WBS element. This error typically arises in the context of project management and controlling within SAP, particularly when dealing with project-related transactions.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the WBS element has open requirements that need to be addressed before any further actions can be taken. Open requirements could be related to purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or other commitments that are linked to the WBS element. Essentially, the system is preventing the action to ensure that all financial commitments and requirements are resolved.
  Solution:
  To resolve the TBLP060 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Open Requirements:
  
  Use transaction codes such as ME53N (Display Purchase Requisition) or ME23N (Display Purchase Order) to check for any open purchase requisitions or orders linked to the WBS element.
  You can also use transaction CJ20N (Project Builder) to view the WBS element and its associated requirements.
  
  
  
  Review and Resolve Requirements:
  
  If there are open purchase requisitions or orders, you may need to either:
  
  Complete or close them if they are no longer needed.
  Change the assignment of the requirements to another WBS element if applicable.
  Confirm or process any outstanding commitments.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check for Other Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other dependencies or transactions that are preventing the WBS element from being processed. This could include open invoices, goods receipts, or other project-related transactions.
  
  
  
  Consult with Project Management:
  
  If you are unsure about how to proceed with the open requirements, consult with your project management team or the relevant stakeholders to determine the best course of action.
  
  
  
  Retry the Action:
  
  Once all open requirements have been addressed, attempt the action again that initially triggered the TBLP060 error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CJ20N (Project Builder), ME53N (Display Purchase Requisition), ME23N (Display Purchase Order), and others that may help in identifying and resolving open requirements.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on managing WBS elements and understanding project management processes.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to view and modify the requirements associated with the WBS element.
