• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CP_ES_TASK_MAINT008 - Change number '&' does not correspond with key date & ?

  The SAP error message CP_ES_TASK_MAINT008 indicates that there is a mismatch between the change number you are trying to use and the key date specified in your request. This typically occurs in the context of change management in SAP, particularly when dealing with production planning or engineering change management.
  Cause:
