What causes this issue?

You want to create a change master record that has a new effectivity
type (for example, serial number) by copying an existing change master
record. The existing change master record has a different effectivity
type (for example, time period).

System Response

The effectivity types are not the same, so the system does not copy the
effectivity data. You must enter effectivity data in the new change
master record yourself.

  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or copy the effectivity data.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be inconsistencies or errors in the data that prevent the copying process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Source Object: Verify that the source object (e.g., BOM, material) has the necessary effectivity data defined. If it does not, you will need to create or update the effectivity data in the source object.
