• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EPRO459 - The formula profile and the profile copy have different day offsets ?

  The SAP error message EPRO459 indicates that there is a mismatch between the day offsets in the formula profile and the 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, including their production processes and planning parameters.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  The day offsets defined in the original formula profile do not match those in the copied profile. Day offsets are used to determine the timing of various activities or processes in relation to the production or planning cycle.
  There may have been changes made to the original profile after the copy was created, leading to inconsistencies.
  The profiles may have been created or modified in different contexts or with different settings.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the EPRO459 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Profiles:
  
  Go to the transaction where you can view the formula profiles (e.g., transaction code C223 for formula profiles).
  Compare the day offsets in both the original formula profile and the copied profile.
  
  
  
  Align Day Offsets:
  
  If you find discrepancies, you will need to either adjust the day offsets in the copied profile to match those in the original profile or vice versa, depending on which profile is the correct one to use.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Copy:
  
  If the profiles are too different or if you are unsure about the changes, consider deleting the copied profile and creating a new copy of the original profile to ensure that all settings, including day offsets, are consistent.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to formula profiles to ensure you understand how day offsets are defined and used.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the changes to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the profiles function as intended.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message or formula profiles that may provide additional insights or patches.
  User Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or user groups where similar issues may have been discussed, as they can provide practical solutions and experiences from other users.
