SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to Sales Orders work center.
2. Go to 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 Go button.
7. Error occurs: A technical error occurred (Project creation failed): CL_CDA_PROCR 037. Report a case. 

Sales Order items description has special character due to which Project creating is failing.

To create Project structure, there are three options available after choosing Create Project:

1. One Task for Each Item.
2. One Task for Fixed Price Items, One Task for 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 descriptions have special character ')' in them.

For option 3, description does not get copied hence Project gets created successfully.

Note: Sales Order item's description may also have special character in form of Space, could be due to copy and paste.

Remove the special character from the Sales Order item description:

1. Go to Sales Orders work center.
2. Go to 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 Items tab and remove the special characters from the description.
6. Save Sales Order.
7. Now try to create a New Project from the Sales Order.
8. No error occurs.
