How To Fix CRM_PS_DM_EA_FEE053 - For BRF+ Function &1, versioning is turned off

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CRM_PS_DM_EA_FEE - EA Fee

• Message number: 053

• Message text: For BRF+ Function &1, versioning is turned off

What causes this issue?

For the current function, you have tried to enable lean trace support,
or you have run the lean trace readiness check for the function. The
system has detected that for object , versioning is currently turned
off. However, full lean trace support is only possible for a function if
the function itself and all objects involved in function execution are
under version control.

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

Note that lean trace is supported even if there are unversioned objects
involved. However, whenever such an unversioned object is changed, all
traces that have been recorded prior to that change can no longer be
displayed.

System Response

Lean trace is supported for the function. However, there is a risk of
losing trace data due to object changes.

How to fix this error?

Decide whether the risk of losing trace data is acceptable for you or
not:
If the risk is acceptable, there is no need to take action.
If the risk is not acceptable, you need to make sure all referenced
objects (direct as well as indirect references) are under version
control. If the system has found numerous objects that are currently not
under version control, you may consider enforcing object versioning on
application level. To accomplish this, proceed as follows:
In the BRFplus workbench, navigate to the application to which the
function belongs.
In the <ZH>Detail </>section, choose <ZH>Default Settings.</>
Under <ZH>Versioning</>, choose <ZH>Versioning enforced</>.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_PS_DM_EA_FEE053 - For BRF+ Function &1, versioning is turned off ?

  The SAP error message CRM_PS_DM_EA_FEE053 indicates that there is an issue with the BRF+ (Business Rule Framework plus) function where versioning is turned off. This error typically arises when you are trying to execute a BRF+ function that requires versioning, but the versioning feature is not enabled for that particular function.
  Cause:
  
  Versioning Disabled: The BRF+ function you are trying to use has versioning turned off. This means that the system does not maintain different versions of the function, which is often necessary for certain operations or evaluations.
  Configuration Issue: There may be a configuration issue in the BRF+ settings that prevents versioning from being enabled.
  Functionality Requirement: The specific functionality you are trying to access may inherently require versioning to operate correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enable Versioning:
  
  Go to the BRF+ workbench (transaction code BRF+).
  Locate the specific function that is causing the error.
  Check the settings for that function and enable versioning if it is currently turned off.
  Save the changes and try executing the function again.
  
  
  
  Check Function Dependencies: Ensure that any dependent objects or rules that the function relies on also have versioning enabled if required.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation for BRF+ to understand the implications of enabling versioning and how it may affect your existing rules and functions.
  
  
  Testing: After enabling versioning, perform thorough testing to ensure that the function behaves as expected and that there are no unintended side effects.
  
  
  Consult SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue or if enabling versioning does not solve the problem, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.

  BRF+ Overview: BRF+ is a framework for defining and managing business rules in SAP applications. It allows for the creation of rules that can be reused across different applications.
  Versioning in BRF+: Versioning allows you to maintain multiple versions of a rule or function, enabling you to track changes over time and revert to previous versions if necessary.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as BRF+ for accessing the BRF+ workbench and SLG1 for checking application logs related to BRF+.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your BRF+ functions operate correctly with versioning enabled.
