System Staus not set as REL in PD after releasing the project

Question

Hi All,
I am new in SAP PS.Please help me in this issue.
I am working on the IDES System( Sand box).
Issue is as follows:-
Before booking actual cost in activities we need to release the project first.
But i am not able to release the Project definition directly. It is giving error as E:ZSTAT:000.
But i am able to release the WBS Elements underneath that and after that i can confirm the activities and book costs.
But when i am trying to release the PD directly, REL status is set but immediately after saving it gives E:ZSTAT:000 error and again it is in CRT status.
KIndly help me in setting the status.
What can be the issues?

Answer 1

The error depicted is not a standard SAP error. Its a customized error that has been maintained via validation.
Validations work at the time of 'Save', therefore the error occurs when you save and not when you release. Execute OPSI and verify the validation condition that is causing this error.
Once you are able to determine and understand the condition that is causing the error you will be able to fulfill it or remove the validation altogether (although this is not recommended).

Ammar
