  Modify POB Attributes:
  
  If the POB should not have time-based attributes, you may need to remove or adjust the time-based attributes from the POB configuration.
  
  
  
  Review Related Settings:
  
  Check if there are any related settings or dependencies that might affect the POB's configuration. This includes reviewing any linked objects or processes that might be expecting a time-based POB.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on configuring time-based POBs and understanding the implications of time-based attributes.
