• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CPE082 - Enter only one value, either for a relative or for an absolute variation ?

  The SAP error message CPE082 indicates that there is a conflict in the input values for a particular field where the system expects either a relative or an absolute variation, but not both. This error typically occurs in the context of planning or budgeting transactions, where users are required to specify either a relative change (percentage) or an absolute change (fixed amount) but not both at the same time.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  Both a relative value (e.g., a percentage increase) and an absolute value (e.g., a specific monetary amount) are entered in the same field or set of fields.
  The system is designed to accept only one of these inputs to avoid ambiguity in calculations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CPE082 error, follow these steps:
  
  Review Input Fields: Check the fields where you have entered values. Identify if both a relative and an absolute value have been entered.
  Choose One Value: Decide whether you want to use a relative variation (percentage) or an absolute variation (fixed amount). 
  
  If you choose a relative variation, ensure that the absolute variation field is left blank.
  Conversely, if you opt for an absolute variation, ensure that the relative variation field is left blank.
  
  
  Re-enter Values: After making the necessary adjustments, re-enter the values and try to save or process the transaction again.
