  Cause:
  
  Project Status: The project you are trying to modify is not in a planning status. This means that the project might be in a status that does not allow changes to the currency, such as "completed" or "closed."
  Project Type: Certain project types may have restrictions on changing the currency once they have been created or moved beyond the planning phase.
  Configuration Settings: There may be specific configuration settings in your SAP system that restrict currency changes based on project status or type.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Project Status: Verify the current status of the project. If it is not in a planning status, you may need to change the status back to planning or create a new project if the currency needs to be changed.
  Change Currency in Planning Phase: If the project is in a planning status, you should be able to change the currency. Navigate to the appropriate transaction (e.g., CJ02 for changing project definitions) and attempt to change the currency again.
  Consult Documentation: Review the project management documentation or guidelines specific to your organization to understand the rules regarding currency changes.

  Project Management Module: Understanding the Project System (PS) module in SAP can provide insights into how projects are structured and managed, including currency settings.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to project settings, as restrictions may also be due to user permissions.
