How To Fix EPRO453 - The formula profile and the profile copy have different interval lengths

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: EPRO - Messages for EDM Profile Processing

• Message number: 453

• Message text: The formula profile and the profile copy have different interval lengths

What causes this issue?

The interval length (&v2&) from formula profile &v1& does not match the
interval length (&v4&) for profile copy &v3&.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

To carry out a parallel update for a formula profile, the interval
lengths from the formula profile and the profile copy must be the same.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EPRO453 - The formula profile and the profile copy have different interval lengths ?

  The SAP error message EPRO453 indicates that there is a mismatch in the interval lengths between a formula profile and its corresponding profile copy. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) modules, where formula profiles are used to define the characteristics of products, especially in industries like chemicals or food and beverage.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  The original formula profile and the copied profile have different numbers of intervals defined. For example, if the original profile has 5 intervals and the copied profile has 4 or 6, this inconsistency will trigger the error.
  Changes were made to the interval structure of either the original or the copied profile after the copy was created, leading to a mismatch.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the EPRO453 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Interval Lengths:
  
  Go to the original formula profile and the copied profile in the SAP system.
  Compare the number of intervals defined in both profiles.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Profiles:
  
  If the copied profile has fewer or more intervals than the original, you will need to adjust it to match the original profile.
  You can either add or remove intervals in the copied profile to ensure that both profiles have the same number of intervals.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Copy:
  
  If adjusting the intervals is not feasible or if there are too many discrepancies, consider deleting the copied profile and creating a new copy of the original profile. Ensure that no changes are made to the interval structure during this process.
  
  
  
  Validation:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, validate both profiles to ensure that they are now consistent.
  Test the functionality that was causing the error to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on formula profiles and their configuration.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as C223 (for formula profiles) to manage and view profiles.
  Support: If the issue persists after following the above steps, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with a functional expert who specializes in the relevant module.
  
  By ensuring that the formula profiles are consistent in terms of interval lengths, you should be able to resolve the EPRO453 error and continue with your processes in SAP.
