How to set CRTD->REL for a project consist of more than 100 WBS elements

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

Now our clients is encounting such a problem:

There is a WBS structure consists of ONE Level 1 WBS code, serveral Level 2 WBS code and hundreds of Level 3 WBS code. All the Level 2 WBS are created automatically according to the data transferred from another system via interface. Level 1 and Level 3 WBS can be created mannually in project builder. And all the status of Level 2 WBS are set to CRTD once they are created automatically.

Level 1 WBS(Let's call it A) has already been set to REL. Only one Level 2 WBS (let's call it A-00) was still CRTD because *it was created after level 1 WBS A was set to REL.* And there are as much as 120 Level 3 WBS(let's call it from A-00-01 to A-00-120) was created under Level 2 WBS A-00 mannually. Now how can I set all the level 3 WBS status from "CRTD" to "REL"?

I have tried following two methods but both of them are failed.

A. Directly set Level 2 WBS A-00 or Level 3 WBS A-00-01to REL (in both CJ20n and CJ02) but the system show a Message No. BS013 falut:

Object A has system status REL, According to this status, transaction "Particially release project" is not allowed"

B. Set Level 1 WBS A to REL(in both CJ20n and CJ02) but the system runs extremly slow and finally the feedback comes to a ABAP error of "Run time error" after more than 30 minutes.

Did any of you face similar situation? Any suggestion for this issue are appreciated.

Atom

Irrespective of which method you create WBS in Projects it should be in-sink with the system status. In your case consistency of system status is not maintained for WBS hierarchy.

As you todl your

LEVEl 1 is havign REL

Leve2 is CRTD ( You should now create any WBS at level 2 after you released you level 1, this is inconsistency. )

Level3 is REL

This happened due to you are creating WBS via some external tool.

Check correction option with Report CNSTATUS in Se38 and make sure for future you will not repeat the same.

Dear Nitin ,

Thanks for your great support. We finally solve this problem by communicating with our clients and delete those WBS which can not be release duo to this inconsistnecy.

As you discussed before, those Level 2 WBS is created by BAPI.

Also thanks a lot for Amol and Paul's help. ^_

In CJ02, go to WBS element overview.

Select the level 2 wbs,

then click "EDIT --> SELECT --> SELECT SUBTREE"

all level 3 wbses under that wbs will get selected... now deselect the level 2 wbse and Release the remaining.

Hi Amol,

Thanks for your kind advice.

I have tried it but the transaction is still forbidden and following message is showed:

Object A has system status REL, According to this status, transaction "Particially release project" is not allowed"

Check the settlement profile used in the WBS elements and project. The configuration could be such that the settlement rules are limited.

Maximum number of distribution rules

Maximum number of distribution rules for each settlement rule.

You cannot settle receivers for which there are no distribution rules.

The IMG path for this in PS is Project System -> Costs -> Automatic and Periodic Allocations -> Settlemennt -> Settlement Profile -> Create Settlement Profile.

Hope this helps.
