• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EPRO014 - Time-of-use type &1 for time-of-use group &2 is not unique ?

  The SAP error message EPRO014 indicates that there is a problem with the configuration of time-of-use (TOU) types in relation to a specific time-of-use group. This error typically arises when the system finds multiple entries for the same TOU type within the specified TOU group, which should be unique.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entries: The most common cause of this error is that there are duplicate time-of-use type entries assigned to the same time-of-use group in the configuration settings.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an incorrect configuration in the TOU settings, leading to ambiguity in the assignment of TOU types to groups.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system, it is possible that duplicates were introduced during the migration process.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for time-of-use types and groups in SAP.
  Navigate to the relevant transaction (e.g., SPRO) and check the settings under the appropriate module (e.g., IS-U for Utilities).
  Look for the TOU group and verify that each TOU type assigned to it is unique.
  
  
  
  Remove Duplicates:
  
  If you find duplicate entries, remove or correct them to ensure that each TOU type is only assigned once to the TOU group.
  Ensure that the TOU types are correctly defined and that there are no overlaps.
  
  
  
  Data Validation:
  
  If the issue arose after a data migration, perform a data validation check to identify and resolve any inconsistencies or duplicates in the migrated data.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the TOU types function as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like SPRO for configuration, SE16 or SE11 for data table checks, and SE78 for transport management if applicable.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files related to time-of-use configuration for detailed guidance on setting up TOU types and groups.
  Support: If the issue persists after checking the configuration, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with an SAP expert who specializes in the relevant module.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the EPRO014 error and ensure that your time-of-use configurations are set up correctly.
