Symptom
While copying a project in app 'Project Control - Enterprise Projects' the following error occurs 'Project element XXXXXXX exists'.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to app Projet control - Enterprise projects
- Select the project and click on copy button
- Enter the new Project Id and all required field
- Click on create button
Cause
As the source project element does not follow the same prefix of project header, system can not replace the newly created draft element with new project header automatically.
Example : Project Header - PROJA
Project Element - PROJA01
PROJA02
Resolution
Click on keep draft option, you should be able to edit the Project Element ID in Project Planning app manually to maintain the correct element ID.
