  The SAP error message BUP_RELATIONS057 indicates that there is an issue with maintaining the standard indicator for a specific time constraint type in the Business Partner (BP) module. This error typically arises when you are trying to set or modify the standard indicator for a relationship type that has a specific time constraint, which does not allow for such changes.
  Cause:
