SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BUX_EEW - Message Class for generic wizard for BP ABA 7.0

• Message number: 008

• Message text: Change the time constraint only after a check

You are trying to change the time constraint type of an existing
extension. SAP recommends that you do <ZH>not</> do this, as it may lead
to inconsistencies in the system and may have serious consequences.
However, if you wish to change the time constraint type, run the
<LS>Consistency Check</> report (BUX_EXTNSN_CONSISTENCY_CHECK) to check
for inconsistencies in the extension. If the extension has been
transported, run the report in all dependent systems including the
production system. Only after carrying out the inconsistency check,
should you change the time constraint type of an extension.

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