• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAC_MPC_PCTR035 - Change at least one time-dependent field before you save. ?

  The SAP error message FAC_MPC_PCTR035 typically occurs in the context of managing time-dependent data in SAP, particularly when working with master data or transactional data that has time-dependent characteristics. This error indicates that you need to make a change to at least one time-dependent field before you can save your changes.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when you attempt to save a record that has time-dependent fields (such as validity periods, start dates, end dates, etc.) without making any modifications to those fields. SAP requires that at least one of these fields be changed to ensure that the data being saved is relevant and reflects the intended updates.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Identify Time-Dependent Fields: Check the fields in the form or screen you are working on to identify which fields are time-dependent. These fields usually include validity dates or other fields that are subject to change over time.
  
  
  Make a Change: Modify at least one of the time-dependent fields. This could involve:
  
  Changing the start date or end date.
  Updating a status that is time-sensitive.
  Adjusting any other relevant time-dependent attribute.
  
  
  
  Save Again: After making the necessary changes, attempt to save the record again. The error should no longer appear if at least one time-dependent field has been modified.
