How to release WBS without releasing the activities under the WBS

When we create a project, define the structures, the final result is we have a combination of WBS, network, and activity structure. If in the future there’s a requirement to RELEASE a specific WBS, only the WBS, without releasing all the activity below the WBS. It is impossible to release it from the Project Builder (Cj20N), because through Project Builder the RELEASE proses is inherited to the activities which is assigned to the corresponding WBS Element. WBS Element with all the activities will be RELEASED.

So, we should user other approach to this case. We can access the WBS from t-code CJ02. Just type the tcode, input the WBS Element, and then from the top menu, select Edit -> Status -> Release. So that you sure that it’s only the WBS Element that’s being released. Check it from the Project Builder (CJ20N) you see that the activity status is remain the same. Only the WBS is being released.
