SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: ATP_SOT_VDM - Message class for SOT VDM Logic

• Message number: 714

• Message text: Do not use absolute and relative conditions for attribute &1 together.

What causes this issue?

You tried to use an absolute and a relative representation for an
attribute.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Examples:
An absolute representation is for example: Order Creation Date is 1.
June 2019.
A relative representation is for example: Order Creation Date is in the
last 3 days (with respect to today).

System Response

The system forbids this with an error message.
The reason is that the selection you define in this App can be used in
two different scenarios.
1. It is run once at a certain date, for which the absolute
representation should be used.
2. It is scheduled to be run on a regular basis, for which the relative
representation should be used.

How to fix this error?

By forbidding the combination of the two representations the user is
forced to pre-think in which scenario the selection should be used.
Reformulate all conditions of the attribute in such a way that either
the absolute or the relative representation is used.
