3481166 - Unable to delete Enterprise Project or WBS Element

Symptom

While deleting a project or WBS in app "Project Control - Enterprise Projects" or app "Project Planning" the following error occurs:

"You cannot delete this project because of the current processing status" or

"Status Released of WBS element prevents WBS element deletion."

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to app Project Control - Enterprise Project or Project Planning
  2. Select and open the project / WBS which is not in created status
  3. Click on delete button

Cause

Once the project / WBS has been set to the status "Released", deletion is not possible. This is because deletion may cause database inconsistencies. For example, cost postings might be available and deletion might corrupt the entries in the CO database.

Resolution

The project can be archived. Please refer to SAP Help Archiving Enterprise Projects with /S4PPM/PRO for more information on project archiving.
