Symptom
There is an error message during WBS element allocation to sales orders - V2 511: You cannot assign any WBS elements to this sales document item category.
Environment
- Sales and Distribution (SD)
- SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud Edition
Cause
Projects with revenue enable planning and posting of costs and revenues for projects. The billing elements within this project structure are work breakdown structure (WBS) elements. In sales documents, these WBS elements can be assigned to sales document items. The assignment can be made to a selected list of item categories and sales document types.
New checks were introduced to the system in CE2005 to check against the validity of WBS Elements at sales order level.
More information is also available in the Whats New documentation:
"7.1.1.2 Improved EfficLenc\ for Projects with Revenue through Sales Integration

9.1.5.4 Enterprise Portfolio and Project Management in Sales Documents
You can now assign work breakdown structure (WBS) elements from Enterprise Portfolio and Project Management (EPPM) projects to sales document items. This assures that the corresponding revenue is posted correctly"
