Functional Area does not allow to change in CJ20N initially

[Former Member]

We are on ECC 5.0 an have made fields Functional Area as required field along with other fields (e.g. Company code, Profit Center, Dates etc.) in Project Definition.

During project creation, all the required fields in Project Definition shows up for edit except the Functional Area. Functional Area field is greyed out. After I populate all the required fields, Functional Area fields shows up for edit before save.

Does anybody have encountered this problem? Your help is truely appreciated.

Hi Sanjaya,

Company code is a superior structure element and as such you need to define it first and than go ahead for selecting Functional area.

Due to this logic, first system prompts you to choose company code,profit center etc. and once the values are entered into the internal table for project structure and project controlling it provides option to choose lower level structural elements like Functional area.
