How To Fix CC141 - Change number &: & is inconsistent with existing change status

CC141 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CC - ECM: Messages

• Message number: 141

• Message text: Change number &: & is inconsistent with existing change status

What causes this issue?

You want to carry out a date shift.
When you carry out a date shift, the system re-defines the valid-from
date for each effectivity period of the objects linked to the change
master.
This process would change the sequence of effectivity periods of BOM
&V2&, alternative &V3& on &V1&.

System Response

The system checks whether the BOM is still consistent after a date
shift. This is not the case if, for example, the BOM has already been
changed using a change number with the new valid-from date you want to
shift to.

How to fix this error?

As the BOM will no longer be consistent if the date shift is carried
out, you cannot carry out the date shift.
