  The SAP error message CMCB_MSG508 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of cycle types in the context of mixed rolling types. Specifically, the error states that at least two cycle types must be defined for the specified mixed rolling type.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a mixed rolling type in SAP, but the system has detected that there are not enough cycle types defined for that rolling type. Mixed rolling types require at least two cycle types to function correctly, as they are designed to handle different types of cycles in a single rolling process.

  Access the Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration transaction in SAP (usually in the area of Production Planning or Controlling).
  
  
  
  Define Cycle Types:
  
  Navigate to the section where you can define cycle types. This is typically found under the configuration for mixed rolling types or production planning.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify Cycle Types:
  
  If there are not enough cycle types defined, create new cycle types as needed. Ensure that you have at least two cycle types that can be associated with the mixed rolling type.
  
  
  
  Assign Cycle Types to Mixed Rolling Type:
  
  Once you have defined the necessary cycle types, ensure that they are properly assigned to the mixed rolling type in question.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
