How To Fix ENHANCEMENT474 - Multiple active implementations for filter value & definition &

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: ENHANCEMENT - SAP customer enhancement project messages

• Message number: 474

• Message text: Multiple active implementations for filter value & definition &

What causes this issue?

There are multiple active implementations of the same business add-in
definition, even though this is not allowed.

System Response

This is not correct and should not occur.

How to fix this error?

Deactivate the implementations active for this BAdI definition one by
one until there is only one active implementation left.
You should use transaction SE18 (Utilities -> Adjustment ->
Multiple-use interfaces) to solve these conflicts systematically.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ENHANCEMENT474 - Multiple active implementations for filter value & definition & ?

  The SAP error message ENHANCEMENT474 indicates that there are multiple active implementations for a specific filter value and definition in the context of Business Add-Ins (BAdIs). This typically occurs when you have more than one active implementation of a BAdI that is supposed to be executed for a particular filter value, leading to ambiguity in which implementation should be executed.
  Cause:
  
  
  Multiple Active Implementations: The primary cause of this error is that there are multiple active implementations of a BAdI for the same filter value. This can happen if:
  
  Different developers have created their own implementations for the same BAdI.
  The implementations are not properly managed or deactivated when no longer needed.
  
  
  
  Filter Value Conflicts: The filter values defined for the BAdI implementations may overlap, causing the system to be unable to determine which implementation to execute.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Active Implementations:
  
  Go to transaction code SE18 (BAdI Definition) and enter the name of the BAdI that is causing the issue.
  Click on the "Implementations" button to see all active implementations for that BAdI.
  
  
  
  Review Filter Values:
  
  Check the filter values for each implementation. Identify which implementations are active for the same filter value.
  
  
  
  Deactivate or Adjust Implementations:
  
  If you find multiple implementations that are not needed, you can deactivate the unnecessary ones. To do this, go to transaction code SE19 (BAdI Implementation) and deactivate the implementation.
  If you need multiple implementations, consider adjusting the filter values so that they do not overlap.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the documentation for the BAdI to understand the intended use of each implementation and the filter values.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the functionality to ensure that the correct implementation is being called and that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BAdI (Business Add-In): A BAdI is a type of enhancement in SAP that allows you to add custom functionality to standard SAP applications without modifying the original code.
  Filter Values: Filter values are used to control which implementation of a BAdI is executed based on specific criteria.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SE18: To view BAdI definitions and their implementations.
  SE19: To create or modify BAdI implementations.
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ENHANCEMENT474 error and ensure that your BAdI implementations are functioning as intended.
