  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EAML221 - Attribute property &1 is not allowed for network &2 ?

    The SAP error message EAML221, which states "Attribute property &1 is not allowed for network &2," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Project System (PS) or Asset Management (AM) modules when there is an attempt to assign an attribute or property to a network that is not permitted.

    Cause:

    1. Invalid Attribute: The attribute property you are trying to assign (represented by &1) is not valid for the specific network type (represented by &2) you are working with.
    2. Network Type Restrictions: Different network types in SAP have specific attributes that can be assigned to them. If you are trying to assign an attribute that is not defined for that network type, this error will occur.
    3. Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict certain attributes from being used with specific network types.

    Solution:

    1. Check Network Type: Verify the type of network you are working with and ensure that the attribute you are trying to assign is valid for that network type.
    2. Review Attribute Properties: Consult the documentation or configuration settings to see which attributes are allowed for the specific network type. You may need to use a different attribute that is compatible.
    3. Adjust Configuration: If you believe the attribute should be allowed, you may need to adjust the configuration settings in the system. This may involve working with your SAP Basis or configuration team to modify the settings.
    4. Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this issue or provide additional guidance on allowed attributes for specific network types.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like CN22 (Change Network) or CJ20N (Project Builder) to review and modify network attributes.
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for Project System or Asset Management to understand the attributes and their applicability to different network types.
    • SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums or support channels for additional insights or similar cases encountered by other users.
