Symptom
When creating either a Purchase Requestion or a Purchase Order which is already assigned to a WBS the following error message is raised “User X* PL&P is active (WBS XXXXXXXXX)”
*Where X Denotes the User ID.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Cause
- This is expected system behavior.
- Creating a Purchase Order assignment to a Work package is only possible after the project status is set to “In Execution”.
- Setting a project status to “In Execution” ensures that the work packages are ready and assigned to Billing items.
- There is no possibility to have the cost postings assigned to a work package which is not yet assigned to any billing item (even if it is only a commitment cost).
Resolution
Change the status of the assigned project.
