• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMCA_MC_ODATA020 - Don't provide PeriodID or KeyDate for non time dependent Form Bundle Type ?

  The SAP error message FMCA_MC_ODATA020 typically occurs in the context of using OData services related to the Financial Management (FM) module, particularly when dealing with form bundles that are not time-dependent. This error indicates that the system is expecting a specific input that is not being provided correctly.
  Cause:
  The error arises when a request is made to an OData service for a form bundle type that does not require a time-dependent context (i.e., it does not need a specific period or key date), but the request includes parameters for PeriodID or KeyDate. This is a mismatch between the expected input for the form bundle type and what is being provided in the request.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the Form Bundle Type: Verify the type of form bundle you are working with. If it is a non-time-dependent form bundle, you should not include PeriodID or KeyDate in your OData request.
  
  
  Modify the OData Request: Remove the PeriodID and KeyDate parameters from your OData request. Ensure that your request aligns with the requirements of the form bundle type you are using.
  
  
  Review Documentation: Consult the SAP documentation for the specific OData service you are using to understand the expected parameters for different form bundle types.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, test the OData request again to ensure that the error is resolved.
