1. Go to the Sales Orders work center.
2. Go to the Sales Orders view.
3. Show All Orders and Find XYZ (XYZ represents the ID of the sales order).
4. Edit the sales order and select Create Project.
5. In the pop-up screen for the New Project, enter below details:
• Project Structure: One task for each item.
• Person Responsible.
• Responsible Unit.
6. Select the Go button.
7. Error occurs: A technical error occurred (Project creation failed): CL_CDA_PROCR 037. Report a case. 

Sales order items description have special character due to which project creating is failing.

To create project structure, you have three options:

1. One task for each item.
2. One task for fixed price items and one task for the Time And Material items.
3. Only project header.

For options 1 and 2, system tries to take the sales order item description and copy it to created project task name.

In both these cases, it is causing an issue and throwing error because both sales order Items description have special character ')' in them.

For option 3, this description is not copied and hence project gets created successfully.

Remove the special character from the sales order items description:

1. Go to the Sales Orders work center.
2. Go to the Sales Orders view.
3. Show All Orders and Find XYZ (XYZ represents the ID of the sales order).
4. Edit the sales order and select the View All button.
5. Go to the Items tab and remove the special characters from the Description.
6. Save the sales order.
7. Now try to create a New Project from the sales order.
8. No error occurs.
