How To Fix COM_PME_PARSER135 - Dependency cannot be compiled: reason #&1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: COM_PME_PARSER - Configuration

• Message number: 135

• Message text: Dependency cannot be compiled: reason #&1

What causes this issue?

The system found an error (#) when generating intermediate code for the
dependency.
#1 - Compilation too long
Probable cause: The dependency is transformed internally to
"disjunctive normal form" as shown in the following example:
(a OR b) AND (c OR d) becomes
(a AND c) OR (a AND d) OR (b AND c) OR (b AND d)
In dependencies where many parenthical expressions are linked with an
AND operation, and these parenthetical expressions have sub-expressions
that are linked with an OR operation, the disjunctive normal form of
object dependencies can be very long. This is why a maximum length has
been defined. The current dependency exceeds this length.

System Response

The system marks the dependency as incorrect. This means that it cannot
be released for operative use.

How to fix this error?

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

#1 - Compilation too long:
Try to avoid OR in inner parenthetical expressions. For example:
COLOR = 'red' OR COLOR = 'blue'
instead of
COLOR IN ['red', 'blue']
